What's your favorite painting that has been place on an album. I can't find the artist, but my favorite is the inner painting to Aqualung by Jethro Tull 
Not a great copy of it, but it has phenomenal texture/color. It's a very strange subject matter (relating to the album of course) but it's such a unique painting, IMO. The look on the guys face is just so great.
Honorable mention:

Actually, I did too. It fits that album quite well. The hellbound one is probably the craziest.

It's pretty metal to have text that no one can read.

There was always plenty to look at while you where waiting for the bong to come around again.
Excuse me whilst I wax nostalgic....... |

Graeme | Its Dimmu Borgir's first album "For All Tid", good CD though the production and songwriting si very primitive compared to their later stuff.
I've always like the full cover foldout of Cathedral's "The Carnival Bizarre". I can't find a picture that does it justice, the full foldout is a massive, highly detailed sureal landscape type thing of dancing skeletons and general weirdness...hard to describe, but trust me, its cool

When I first saw the vinyl of this album I was blown away. This pic really doesn't do it justice. It's stunning to say the least. Good album as well.
