The album cover really caught my eye when I saw it on
deadendhiphop.com, otherwise I probably would not have listened to her music. The
album cover she uses is a small piece of a larger picture which I think is
really cool but to get the
true album cover you would have to go to her Facebook
page (search "Honey The Hippie"). But as for the picture itself, I think it’s a
masterpiece created by
Samantha Shu Shu
(which is her Facebook name). The yellow daisy on her hair is a nice touch showing that this
woman is connected to the earth by wearing and excepting it. Her headband symbolizes
connection to people (hippies) because a circle represents unity and it shows that she
has opened her mind. Her dress bestows all colors of the rainbow because hippies
appreciate all colors of the earth, same goes for race and ethnicity. The yellow
around the collar represents happiness. Her hair is long and nappy because
hippies feel as if your hair is your identity and keeping neat hair means
conformity to some extent. The collage is interesting because hippies get a bad rep for being
druggies and weirdos. The picture here has something similar to how a hippie
thinks, a drug trip, or both. The flowers represent people because they are
beautiful, complex, come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. One thing that
stood out to me was the eye within the portrait; it’s red on the outside to
represent passion, pink to complement the red, and a light blue in the iris. Blue
represents the inner peace within herself but a fiery passion (red) on the
surface. This eye could also mention the “third eye” all humans have but only a
few know how to access. Hippies are a gathering of people who have the third
eye trait to see what really goes on in this world. This could be the reason
why she is holding a gun to her head, she sees how horrible and ridged this
world really is and she can’t take it anymore. I did find it strange because
hippies are all about peace but she is holding a gun, but the author did it for
some reason and I like it.
