Creepy, funny, eye-catching, colorful, weird. Neon Park’s artwork for Frank Zappa’s 1970 album Weasels Ripped My Flesh pretty much sums up my feelings about Zappa as an artist. “I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird,” claimed Zappa. But album covers like this certainly moved the needle in the direction of weird, which (in spite of his protestations) suited his music just fine. Park would go on to create a whole string of album covers for Little Feat, but none of those got as dark or strange as this. RZZZZZ!
