I dig album art. Fun to look at. A little tougher on CDs, but still interesting. Recognize this? #theartofseeing #treasures

A square black and white photograph of the art inside the CD case for Tom Petty's The Last DJ.

There are 12 hand-drawn icons arranged in a circle: Starting at 12 o'clock headphones, beer can, car stereo faceplate, cigar with smoke, handgun, wedding ring, milk carton, pack of cigarettes, ball and chain, high-heel shoe, private jet, and a desk globe.

At center is a hand-drawn crown above a dollar sign. Money is king.

I was out taking care of a few errands a few days back when the song Bluer Pastures from Dolly's Little Sparrow album started playing.

There's also Dolly's The Grass is Blue displayed on top of a CD player, next to a cool little ceramic statue of Nipper the missus gifted me years ago.
