An obsessive music fan has photoshopped himself into the covers of some of the world’s most loved albums, by artists ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to the Beatles.

Igor Lipchanskiy (24), from Volgograd in Russia, has taken memorable album covers and, using the powers of Photoshop, included himself in the images.

From classic records like David Bowie’s Heroes and the Ramones’ End of the Century, to more recent releases like Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN and Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die, Igor has found his own way to etch himself into the charts.

Igor says he’s always been interested in the art of creating album covers.

“I wanted to understand what the idea beyond the cover is,” he says. “I’m not a designer and I only have a basic knowledge of Photoshop – which is why I apologise for my designing sins.

“My goal is not to stun the designers; all I want is to create a funny story on the cover.”
