For those that don't know, Arthur Russell was a cellist/disco producer/electronic musician that bounced from musical sub-culture to musical sub-culture throughout the late 70s and into the 80s before dying of AIDS in 1992. In recent years, thanks to Audika records, a ton of Russell's work's been re-released or released for the first time and along with it, some of Russell's album art, which is often these really great line type drawings of animals and dinosaurs and stuff.
