'HOTTER THAN HELL' 
Original 1974 album back cover artwork  lithograph signed by renowned artist John Van Hamersveld

**Check out this AMAZING item!  KISSROCKS.net has been fortunate enough to connect up with a former art student of Mr. Van Hamersveld's who has commissioned us to sell this one-of-a-kind, ultra-rare item almost never seen before in the KISS community:

This oversized 42" x 56" lithograph is 1 of 200 in the world, and features the original artwork that was painted and presented to KISS and their management for the 'Hotter Than Hell' album in fall 1974.  As you can see from the images below, the original painting is of Gene Simmons' face & make-up, while the final version of the 'Hotter Than Hell' back cover is based on this but a morph of all members' make-up, which makes this 'outtake' of sorts extremely unique.  Only 200 copies of the original artwork (just Gene's make-up) was printed by John Van Hamersveld and then hand-signed by him in 1975 while an instructor at California Institute of the Arts.

John Van Hamersveld has created over 300 album covers and concert posters for everyone including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Blondie, KISS of course, and dozens of others.  His creativity and influence can be felt throughout much of visuals that accompany the music of the 60s & 70s and his contribution to KISS' classic 1974 album 'Hotter Than Hell' is no exception.
