Have you seen Kanye West's new album cover yet?
What may appear as the title The Life of Pablo simply copied and pasted over and over — with little to no space in between — on top of an orange background is actually a commissioned piece of art. Seriously.
Just in case you weren't clear, Kanye took to his Twitter account last week to reveal the artist's name — Belgian artist Peter De Potter.

Well, it actually shouldn't come as a surprise when you think of it. After all, this is Kanye West we're talking about and he has been infusing art and high fashion into hip-hop for quite some time.
That being said, what should come as a surprise is High Snobiety reporting that Rik Lomas and graphic artist Simon Whybray joined forces to create The Life of Pablo do-it-yourself cover generator.
When clicking onto the specially dedicated website generator — TheLifeofPablol.com — fans will be hit with an image of Kanye's album cover, except the words aren't 'The Life of Pablo' over and over in close proximity with some type overlapping.
Instead, it simply reads as 'Start Typing Now' over and over in close proximity with some type overlapping. From there, any typed words will instantly appear over the orange background. A Tech Times reporter actually gave the DIY cover generator a shot and here's how it came out.
Pretty neat, right?
Lomas even joked on his Twitter account Sunday:
Hey @kanyewest, thanks for using our site again
West has been hard at work promoting his newest album, while taking the time to offer some eyebrow-raising comments on Twitter.
After tweeting that he's in $53 million of personal debt Saturday, Kanye followed that up by imploring Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion into his ideas.
And about why Zuckerberg should feel compelled to do such a thing for Kanye?
For "realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time," West tweeted Sunday.
He followed that early Monday morning, tweeting to Larry Page that he's "down for your help, too."
While they let that offer marinate, feel free to go wild on The Life of Pablo album title generator.
