Master of the Game
A vividly airbrushed, late-1970s album-cover composition built around theatrical perspective, cosmic fantasy, and symbolic game imagery. The design combines a red-and-white checkerboard room with a star-speckled black void, oversized sculptural hands, and a robed central figure, creating a surreal stage-like space. Its mood is mystical, playful, and slightly ominous, with glossy painted highlights, hard-edged geometric recession, and funk-era speculative grandeur.
