This is the original image that was eventually colored and used for their debut album The B-52's. I used to have a sketchbook with the colored version as the cover. Actually I also had a pin as well. The image resonates with me. If I could get my hands on a T-shirt I'd rock it too. It's gay but it's cool and natural.
When I saw this original in the exhibit book for the Brooklyn Museum's Who Shot Rock & Roll show I was struck. Not shocked or surprised, but intrigued to see that an image I had let become a part of me had another dimension; an original who's stripped down version made me feel like I was seeing it again for the first time.
Crazy how this music is 30 years old?
