Picture Set Of The Month - May - Images By Neon Park

'Marlene Goes To Tunisia' a late work by 
Neon Park (1940 - 1993) an American illustrator
 who was more famous for designing the covers
of all but the first album by Little Feat   


This image of the inside of a gatefold sleeve
of a Little Feat album (I don't know which)
is a less known work by Neon Park

'Golden Slippers' here dates from 1985, when
 Neon Park was two years into his sensing
a decreasing adaptability with his hands
in the 1990s he could no longer paint
with the finesse he was known for
and accepting being a writer who wrote
as a one fingered typist 'search and stab' style. 

'City Lights' is a 1978 album by Dr John,
on which Doc Pomus co-writes two songs
with the good doctor. And with Dr John on fine form
as piano player, hear a track here, the cover
by Neon Park gives it the finishing touch.
