Talented Swedish artist William Kallback Winter is continuing to pump out some of the most hilariously wacky album cover art the Internet has ever seen. With new additions depicting the iconic Furby as Nicki Minaj, Adele, Justin Bieber and even Beyonce, this Internet joke is gaining a lot of steam.
The amazingly re-imagined album cover art is another installment in the growing Internet craze of taking pop-culture objects and transfusing them with completely different aspects. It takes about two to five hours to create each album cover and Winter uses a combination of both Adobe Photoshop and different photography tricks. Many of his hilarious creations are causing Internet-goers around the world to simultaneous cry out the famous Furby words, "I love you."
