Since retro is the new hot nowadays, vinyl records are starting their great comeback. So if you are a vinyl junkie or your parents have a big collection of the greatest '80s hits, this could be your next great opportunity. People across the Internet unleash their creativity by paying homage to vinyl covers and bringing it to life in a new context. Following the trend, people are obscuring or augmenting their body parts with vinyl sleeves, causing an entertaining optical illusion captured on photos before digital collages were cool.
Although it remains unknown who is the mastermind behind this concept, it is said that the “Sleeveface” phenomenon was started in 2007 by Welsh DJ Carl Morris with a Paul McCartney album cover while he was having a little fun in a bar and rapidly became a source of worldwide craze. When the trend evolved, sleeveface.com, launched by Morris and his friend John Rostron, became a home for a quirky community of enthusiasts precisely covering their faces and other body parts which resulted in an artistic, vivid and hilarious compilation of eye tricks. And sometimes, they take the art on famous artists' covers to a whole new level.
If you have a face, an old vinyl sleeve, and a camera – join the movement by seamlessly blending with your favorite artist. Check out this list of the best sleevefaces for inspiration!

It would be better with cat slippers since he loved cats so much, I love this one!!
me too! I was like, okay... It's kinda weird the way that one guy is standing behind the other like that... Oh, wait, it's one person.
Load More Replies...I have never seen a photo of Björk where she has unshaved legs...
Load More Replies...What is that critter and why is it terrified of sweet, gentle Tracy Chapman?
That is a copy of "In the Court of the Crimson King". The cover is supposed to be the "21st Century Schizoid Man". http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=1903
Load More Replies...Ace! Great albums to boot, think Tracy Chapman's a King Crimson fan?
LMAO.. He wouldn't have it any other way either!! He was turning into a white woman.
Guests with eyes without a face will attend the reception.
Load More Replies...It was so hard to see where the person ended and the album began.. Well Done!
I think it would be better with a black outfit, skin tight one. In Missionary Man music video she wore one.
Wouldn't be surprised if he had a record, though.
Load More Replies...The guy on the cover looks like Corey Feldman more the Corey Feldman does! lol
As do literally a hundred thousand + of other people.
Load More Replies...Cool, needed more skin at the neckline. How did I never notice he and Will Ferrell both had that same leonine facial structure?
The setting is perfect, but I would’ve liked seeing a bigger guy and a more convincing butcher’s apron.
Congratulations. You just won the award for "Understatement of the year." beker-5d40...4b668c.jpg
I'm envisioning the doll from "Child's Play" taking down Chuck E.
Load More Replies...At least a blue jacket and a gold background! Would that have been so hard to do ?
Some of these, like this one, are like people aren't even trying.
Interesting note: This is Maya Rudolph's mom - she remade the cover herself Maya-Rudol...27d446.jpg
How do they even find some of those clothes?!? Some are almost perfect matches.
Load More Replies...Funny and satisfying to look at, seeing the pics line up with the people... How have I not seen this before??
Here's what these people are doing. They are blending in with record/album covers. They are not blending in with vinyls. In fact the plural of vinyl is vinyl. Vinyl is what is used to make the record it is not what we call the end product.
We called 'em "stacks of wax," too, which of course they are not. LP's, records, albums...
