Creatively speaking, the term “art” can mean many things. Whether it is music, writing, painting, sculpting, or drawing, it is all under the umbrella “art.” For the sake of this article, however, let us look at several wellknown musicians who created visual art outside of their musical lives. Musicians such as David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, and more have created anywhere from a few to hundreds of paintings, drawings, or sculptures. Furthermore, many musicians utilize the artwork for their own album covers.

The following list contains artists, some living and others not, who even during their busiest years as musicians managed to also create intriguing works of art during the 20th and 21st centuries. And even if these musicians are not your style of music, perhaps you will be able to enjoy their visual works.
