when i was in high school in the mid 90s, the artwork for cds released through master p's no limit records (mostly the work of pen & pixel) was considered the nadir of graphic design and was the butt of many a joke. photoshop was still a relatively new phenomenon then, and those covers exemplified just how bad things could get with the medium. fast forward to today. what a difference a decade or so can make. now this kind of artwork has cult appeal, having been mocked to the point of being revered. the waylon group logo (see top of page) pays obvious tribute to this work.
