2010 version via Kanye’s blog . . . Jean Paul Goude originally did some serious pre-photoshop collaging to get this ill ‘85 album cover . . . 2.5 decades later Amber Rose does a redux for the unveiling of Ye’s new all-white blog.

Check out her earlier collections too, which include coat-of-arms interpretations and endangered species themes.
Props to Green Owl for this one.
