This kid's recreation of the artwork on Rush's Fly By Night gives off the same gloomy dark effect that the original album cover does with its dark, cool colors. The eyelashes on the owl are a nice touch as well.

This kid's version of the artwork done on Devo's Freedom of Choice does the band justice, especially when considering the detail on those one-of-kind hats.

It's no wonder this seven-year-old had his first solo show displaying his rap-themed portraits open at Gallery 1988 West in L.A. this month. This kid is talented, and his skill is proven in this very accurate recreation of the famed 2Pac album cover, All Eyez on Me. Young Lenox captured 2Pac's signature swag and used contrasting colors to produce an amazing visual effect.

In this recreation of one the most iconic rock-n-roll album covers of all time, you might be shocked at the child's choice of background color. He must really like orange.

What truly stands out in Tim's recreation of the artwork on the famed rock-n-roll album, Hotel California, are the palm trees, which just so happen to be bright red.

Being that Samantha decided to draw her entire recreation of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in pink, we have determined that pink must be her favorite color.

This kid's elephant looks more friendly than fierce, but the young artist managed to successfully capture the glow of the burning fire with bright red.

It's hard to believe anyone can truly recreate anything Beatles-related, but Sophie knew how to give life to the band's magical yellow submarine. In looking at her recreation's attention to detail and use of vibrant colors, how can you not believe we all live in a yellow submarine?

Kid artist Samantha truly adheres to the band's lyric, "I am colorblind..." in incorporating blue, purple, and orange in her recreation of the album cover of This Desert Life.

Bruno Mars would probably smile upon this recreation of the artwork on his first studio album, Doo Wops & Hooligans. Although he's portrayed as an armless stick figure, how can anyone not love this kid's version of the long, winding road that lies before soulful pop musician?

How could we not include another album cover recreation by Yung Lenox? The kid's artistic tribute to rapper Raekwon captures the vibrant color and fierce expressions of the figures in the original album artwork.
