He has but one name, Kosh, but he is one of the most celebrated and influential album-cover artists EVER. Chances are you already own several pieces of art created by Kosh. Kosh is from Los Angeles by way of London. He’s got hundreds of album covers to his credit, and if Kosh didn’t do that cover, well...not to worry, he knows who did, and he’ll introduce you. And by the way: If you are a student of the visual arts, or just somebody who appreciates them, you can pick up a lot from listening to Art of Rock. Great, great storytelling, it’s candid, sometimes a little raunchy. Kosh was right there for a lot of Rock history, and he’ll tell you about ALL of it. Proud part of Pantheon - the podcast network for music lovers.
