I like the "drawn and sketched" quality. I also like the vision, the twist rather than literal take on the image. (I also like this image because, at times, I believe thought and theme get sacrificed for a "pop art" sort of technique-driven image ideal.) Its not a pretty image, but it has the brown on black graphic feel of late 70's album cover.
