It's a creepy image to me and it has the French illustrators name right on the cover so no surprise that one could tell who did the artwork.
No need to be sad Val. We all have our own opinions. I'm not sad cuz you have a different one than me and I wouldn't tell you that it makes me sad.
I have several large framed prints in my family room and they are by a French Canadian artist. Not the least bit creepy. Much of the TV/magazines/books etc. here in Canada are full of French based art/images etc.
I'm not quite sure which way to take Cathy's comment.
I appreciate the artistic talent just not the image of a mans head coming out of a horse neck looking like sherlock homes smoking a pipe.. Doesn't seem too kid friendly and certainly not like any images in my mind when I've read the lyrics or heard the tune over the last several decades.
