The original art from Mellon Collie, now on skin.
On October 23, 1995, Smashing Pumpkins released Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness(*) — a double album whose visual identity, created by collage artist John Craig, became as iconic as the music itself. Working from Billy Corgan's sketches and notes, Craig created a glyph for each of the album's 27 songs, published in a companion lyric booklet.
This collection is Blackdot's second release with Craig, making all 27 original glyphs available as licensed tattoos.
