b. 1940 -- d.1993
Born Martin Muller, he was a
graphic artist best known for his numerous
record album covers. Except for their first album, Park did all the
cover art for
Little Feat, but his best known piece might be the cover for
The Mothers of Invention's Weasels Ripped My Flesh.
Park got his start doing posters for radio stations and rock clubs. His style was sometimes referred to as psycho-pop, an appellation he did not shirk from. The Weasels Ripped My Flesh cover caused a lot of notoriety and Warner Bros. was dead set against releasing it. In a 1980 interview Park related, "The printer said it was the most degenerate thing he'd ever seen, but now no one would even notice."
Park was diagnosed in1992 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), aka Lou Gehrig's disease. He died on September 1st, 1993.
