How about a thread for weird and wonderful book art.

I thought this was interesting...

Do weird covers count?

I've had this one saved for over a decade. No, I haven't a clue.

There is a list of pbooks by Orbit that has these AR covers. I found one in a bookstore, but I couldn't get it to work on an iPhone...

I've seen this sort of art on PD SFF for a while now. Generally, it's not too bad a mis-match, but this is mind-boggling.

If weird covers count, do you have links for all the covers from Kindle Unlimited?

Jim C.Hines' cover pose project where he recreates SFF covers is a great work of art: https://www.jimchines.com/cover-posing/ He started it as a rant about how women are portrayed on many covers - it's both hilarious and thought-provoking.

And Smart Bitches Trashy Books have both cover snark (https://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/tag/cover-snark/) and cover awe (https://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/category/cover-awe/)

Those Hines covers are superb. I can't remember when I last laughed so hard.
