As a musician, a co-founder of a record label and a vintage poster dealer, New York-based artist Alfra Martini is a woman of many musical trades. But in her downtime, the cat owner uses kittens as her muse to recreate classic album covers, and the result is rather entertaining.

Iron Meowdens debut album leaves me wondering if this is a real-life Bill the Cat.

The saddest thing in the world is an established “artist” who knows they don’t even have to try anymore.

I wonder how Nirvana got away with the naked baby pic but here is the guy today.I seem to remember Blind Faith putting a nude 12 year old girl on an album cover way back. I think they had to change the cover, but could you imagine what the reaction would be now days. Both are iconic groups. I guess they though they could get away with it.

Still have that album with the young chick holding the chrome airplane. Sometimes wonder if that thing is worth some money to collectors.
