Scrapped AATCHB/The Fragile art makes its way online

The FragileShortly after the release of The Fragile, David Carson published a book of his photos titled Fotografiks, and included in this colorful collection were some of the source images that would end up being used in artwork associated with the double album. A few years later, Carson published Trek, where he included photos of alternate covers (and titles) for what would come to be known as "And All That Could Have Been."

Well, as is inevitable, some of this work has been put online. trollmanen has posted scans at this Flickr set, and check out more of Carson's work at his website, where you can occasionally pick up proofs and posters direct from the designer himself. Carson is rumored to be involved with the upcoming 'very limited' version of The Fragile.
