...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead frontman Conrad Keely is a great artist and is in charge of the band's covers and album art. Here are but a few examples (the Century of Self, done entirely in blue ballpoint pen, is a personal favorite)

Self Portrait Dylan...he should stick to songwriting...

 

she did a fabulous job...

 

This is awesome- I had no idea it was Ginger who did this.

 

At the time of Self Portrait, Dylan's songwriting was hitting a rough patch -- he was recording a lot of tunes done by other people first.
Anyway, I don't have a problem with the cover (although it's not one of my favorites), and aside from Planet Waves, it's not like he made a habit of doing his own cover art.

 

A recent favorite of mine, a sculpture made and photographed by Arctic Monkeys band leader Alex Turner
