Created by Seattle-based Jive Time Records, a store that specialises in used vinyl, Deface Value showcases second hand or found album covers that have been intentionally altered. Our favourite has to be the one where The Sound of Music gets the Hitchcock treatment, only with bats instead of birds. Pure genius!

I’ve always been a fan of the grotesque style of Crumb, Ratfink, and the like. No small wonder then that I really dig the work of Canadian illustrator Josh Holinaty in all it’s lumpy splendor. Be sure not to miss the fantastic black and white section when you visit his site.
