Striking similarity between David Bowie and cartoon man on Devo album cover
by David Pescovitz from on (#3WW65)
Joel Gion of Brian Jonestown Massacre posted these images on his Instagram. Coincidence or... something else?
Well, David Bowie did help Brian Eno produce Devo's "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!" (1978). But apparently illustrator Joe Heiner based the cover art on a photo of golfer Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodriguez mixed with an image Mark Mothersbaugh had "procured from a local newspaper that morphed the faces of U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford."
Still, the resemblance here is striking.
