Monday Trend Alert: Sleeveface

I’m excited about “Sleeveface”. It’s a photographic trend that’s sweeping the nation!

Here’s how Sleeveface is defined by Wikipedia:

“Sleeveface is an internet phenomenon wherein one or more persons obscure or augment body parts with record sleeve(s), causing an illusion. A 2008 BBC article claims the idea was created by a group of people in Cardiff, Wales.”

It’s nice to see LP Album art being put to good use. My last album art obsession was this.

Here are a few more excellent Sleevefaces:
