Soundpapered, the alter ego of British-American artist Rachel D. Abrams, has created some truly memorable cover art for You Dig?, above. Famously, art has no rules—but not so with Soundpapered. For a decade, Rachel has been sketching musicians while watching them play live, using only pen on paper or finger-and-thumb on a dark-mode phone screen. It’s spontaneous; absolutely no working off photos later.

Rachel’s cover art selection features (Front) Ben Williams and (L-R) Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Rickey Washington, Walter Smith III, Esperanza Spalding, David Virelles, and Casey Benjamin.
