Chaos
Chaos
This week's topic was a lot of fun, there are quite a few chaotic covers out there. I decided to share two this week that I felt fit the bill well. First up is Wolf in White Van, which may sort of be a pattern of some sort, but boy do all those lines make me feel chaotic! The second is Golden State, which features a pretty chaotic array of free overpasses. As a SoCal native, the cover for Golden State definitely reminds me of where I live with those crazy (and kinda scary, if you think about it??) freeway overpasses. 😂 I also threw in the cover for Ben H. Winters' Quiet Boy as well, since it has a bit of a 'chaotic' vibe to it as well.

ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love the Mulholland edition of Golden State, and yep, those freeway interchanges are scary and chaotic!
