The "cheaper" CD will be released on Sept. 10. http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Idylle-Vaness...86283364&sr=8-1

I read at vanessaparadis.info that Johnny did the artwork for the cover! :)

Oh, that's COOL. I wonder if the more expensive version, those postcards...could the postcards be Johnny's artwork?!? If so I'll buy it for sure. The cover reminds me of some famous artwork, from Japan, maybe, or could be from anywhere, can't remember.

I have Bliss, and enjoy it fairly often. It's very 'Bohemian'

Thanks Susan for the cover pic!

I think the painting reminds me of one that we saw in a magazine article, Johnny's beside it with lots of other artwork around. ANyone know the one I mean?

This one?
I don't know how to post pictures here. Just links.

Yes, this appeared in Vanity Fair mag when Johnny was nominated for his 1st Oscar:
Thanks to JDFan.com for this pic.



Yes, the painting above looks very close(if not the same) to the one of Vanessa on the cover of her CD

-Donna

My kids think it's the same. You can see the blue underneath the album cover, and the top inside of the left eye, and the outline of her hair in black...look the same to me! :blink:

That's it! Thanks y'all!! It sure looks as if he used one as a "model" for the other. :artist

A bit larger from Deppimpact:



Love how this was photographed. Anyone remember the photographer?

Is that a NUDE sketch on the bottom left, the bigger one, head up, side view... :shistle Or is he just practicing the body outlines ? :ph43r:

I might be missing something, but to me they just look like some sketches of "heads"---seems like I can see pairs of eyes----------

:shistle Oh, Ok then. I just had to check . Mr. Depputante is absent, and I didn't want to think that I've slid into the gutter too quickly! :(

I just looked it up and the photographer was Annie Leibovitz.

Many thanks for the lovely cover photo and information Susan, and to Depputante and Donna for the additional pictures. :thanks

Thanks for that Theresa---Leibovitz seems correct---------just love that picture!

The CD cover is lovely. Johnny is so talented, no matter what medium he's dabbling in. Thanks for the post. I'm looking forward to hearing the new CD!

Thank you so much for sharing, God Johnny is so talented in everything I wish we could see more drawnings and paintings that he has made. :D
And I can't wait to hear Vanessa's new album it's going to be amazing!

Thanks Theresa for the photographer's name! It's lovely and of course copyrighted to Annie Leibovitz and Vanity Fair magazine.

Oops! Sorry about posting those pics then :( ---I used to have this copy of VFair but can't put my hands on it now. It is nice to see Johnny supporting Vanessa in her career as she supports him. :)

I will pass on purchasing the Cd but I love johnny's artwork. He is quite good. Very good infact. Just something else this very creative man is good at. My hat is off to him. I also think it is the same painiting just a different use of colors for the album cover perhaps?


Yvonne in LA :shistle

Not to worry, we found out who the photog was! :) I like to be able to give credit when we know who to credit. ;)
