Apocalypse now

“I’ll Never Be Afraid” by the Gospel Rythm-Aires.   A superior example of outsider, DIY cover art.   Beautiful in its simplicity and naivete.   Mixed media here all comes together for a doomsday message of hope, faith and salvation.   See the ghostly figure of Jesus in nature craddling the band as Armeggedon hits the big city.
