The Yeezus phase was almost a touch less incendiary.

Kanye West's former art director, Joe Perez, is offering glimpses at the Yeezus touring package that never was.

On New Years Day, Perez launched a new Instagram account to showcase drafts and abandoned merch concepts from his time working with some of hip-hop's biggest names. He commenced the campaign with images of a rough poster concept for the run of shows supporting Yeezus with the tour's original title, Till Death Do Us Part. Perez later shared gif concepts for the album, revealing the title was initially Thank God for Drugs and the cover originally featured art from George Condo, who painted five alternate covers for West's 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Perez also posted drafts of art for Pusha T's "Pain" and t-shirt designs for G.O.O.D. Music. See them all below.
