Third Man Blues

I would like to applaud Jack White for his whole Third Man recording studio/record store/venue/label headquarters setup. It is a terrific idea, and it has allowed him to do some pretty great things over there, like signing little-known blues artists, pressing their records, and helping them with publicity/distribution. But am I the only one who finds it a little odd that an artist like White, who generally has pretty cool covers on his records, makes all his artists pose in front of the same blue background? I am guessing the Third Man building must also house a portrait studio. And of all the Sears-like album covers I find Dan Sartain's (ode?) to St. Vincent particularly creepy.

On a side note, after sampling a little of Sartain's work I have concluded that somebody like New Science Projects would fit in very nicely over on the Third Man roster.
