I absolutely adores Stanley Donwood's art, but with The King of Limbs he really amazed me, using inspiration from scandinavian folklore; Strange unknow creatures, with long limbs, traversing the woods an-[sp]SLENDER MAN[/sp]:tinfoil:
When you pre-ordered The King of Limbs, you'd get two transparent LP's, and a newspaper with lots of art and Thom Yorke's wise words, a compact CD and small paper things that I haven't found any uses for so far. I have to say, when I recived this "Newpaper-album" I was absolutely amazed with the graphical art, and I'm proud to own it.
Here's some more art from the limited edition:

Why post the album art when you can post the full art? :iia:

I really like how huge and ancient everything looks.
These aren't my favourite albums, just my favourite album art that I can recall at the moment.

Looks like a thumb to me :geno:
I've always dreamed of seeing some of Bruegel's huge paintings in person, but maybe I'll skip that one

Okay.

I read somewhere that there are loads of references to Norwegian (I think) figures of speech in that painting. That's one of them

It's creepy, and I like it.

It's really simple, and just from a design perspective it's very weird that it works on anything other than a Photoshop .ico
It's also a really beautiful album.
