On Thursday Amazon.com posted different art of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and it's the same red border but this time with a painting of a ballerina holding a wine glass. The artist of both paintings is frequent Kanye collaborator George Condo, and Kanye revealed Tuesday that the two have more work in store for fans.
"Well, actually, it's five covers," he told MTV News. "And you get all five of them when you buy the album."
No word on what the other covers might look like....but enough already, pick a cover and go with it, quit milking it!

The Damned Things 'Ironiclast' Cover Artwork Unveiled
Says Trohman about the artwork: "This art is meant to represent a example of an 'ironiclast.' The $1 bill is one of the most iconoclastic images we, as a band, could think of. Every time we kept musing on other widely recognized bits of imagery, we always came back to this bank note for some reason. It felt relevant, regardless of the meaning one decides to attach. It can that represent everything from the American dream and total independence, to capitalism and a loss in sight of what's really important in this world. It could be representative of not just the current American economy, but also of the world economy and its piss-poor state of being. This could also conjure up the old 'money-is-the-root-of-all-evil' adage. Maybe you just hate George Washington and you feel like this is really sticking it to him...FINALLY! Or maybe you love George Washington and have been dying to give him a cool makeover. This is all left up to you. Many meanings can be attached to this imagery. It's all in how you choose to interpret it."
The Damned Things made its live debut on June 1, 2010 at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, New York.
