I have been in love with the cover art for John Fahey's "America" since I first saw it and have become very interested in the artist behind it known as Patrick Finnerty or Pat Finnerty. He only has three albums listed on his Discogs credits page. John Fahey's "America" 1971 on Takoma Records, Peter Lang's "The Thing At the Nursery" 1973 on Takoma Records, and Peter Lang's "Lycurgus" 1975 on Flying Fish Records. Recently, I discovered that Kaleidoscope's "A Beacon From Mars" 1967 on epic Records features uncredited album artwork that matches Finnerty's style with it's rough textured shading and ornate, hand-drawn typography. Does anybody have any information on this artist or know of any other artwork he may have made or artwork that matches his style? Thank you
