I was joking. I use to draw all the time, (and started out before computers took over, and use to do anything by hand, when I was doing flyers back in the day.) so appreciate a painting/drawing can take so much more time and effort than a photo montage.

Yet I still don't think that means an illustrated cover is more worthy than a photo montage, they either work or they don't.

I agree that Photoshop has killed a lot of the creativity of poster art/covers, yet for me the photo collages/graphic design work featured on Japanese posters/press kits of the 70's or 80's are just as amazing as the painted posters/covers of the time.
