# Kiki Hitomi: My favorite album covers
We knew that **Kiki Hitomi** had a background in illustration and
design, so who better to ask about album covers? The **King Midas
Sound** vocalist weighs in on the album designs that inspire and
influence her.
**London Is The Place For Me Part 2**
My second hometown, London city. I even have this poster in my room.
Such a survivalist place to live; it gave me a hard time but also
inspiration. This cover always encourages me and keeps me pushing. So
many great songs! **Honest Jon's Records** always have great releases
full of amazing artwork and covers. I don't know who did the art for
this album but **Will Bankhead** does lots of artwork for Honest Jon's,
and he also recently did the art for our remix of **Shackleton**'s
'Deadman'. (below)
**[King Tubby Meets Jacob Miller- In A Tenement Yard][1]**
I wish I made this cover!! Whenever I see it, I want to stand in the
center of a circle of Moogs and look up at the universe and hope someone
takes pictures of me from above. The album is crazy too. A definite
must-buy.
Jacob
Miller & Ray I -- Natty Christmas
Christmas is coming soon! This is such a great album and I listen to it
every December. How could you go wrong with Jacob as Santa holding a
ganja Christmas tree?
