Primitive Cover Artwork
Welcome to a gallery of glorious roughness. Primitive Cover Artwork celebrates the raw, the hand-drawn, the awkwardly charming visuals that graced some of Canada’s most obscure and endearing releases. From crayon scrawls to cut-and-paste photocopy jobs, these covers are pure outsider art—bold, DIY, and bursting with personality. They may not be polished, but they’re unforgettable. Sometimes ugly, often beautiful, always authentic.
