Sydmar Lodge Care Home residents in Edgware, England have been on lockdown for four months and counting, and they're finding delightfully creative ways to pass the time.

On Friday (July 10), the nursing home's entertainment manager Robert Speker shared a series of tweets showcasing residents and carers recreating iconic album covers that run the gamut from David Bowie's Aladdin Sane to Taylor Swift's 1989. There's Vera 93, recreating Adele's 21 artwork and Sheila Solomons swinging her cane around in a reimagining of The Clash's London Calling, called Sydmar Calling. There's even a resident who replicated blink-182's risque Enema of the State cover, butterfly tattoo and all.

Other album art recreations include Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA, Queen's II, Elvis Presley's self-titled, Michael Jackson's Bad, Johnny Cash's Cash, and Madonna's True Blue.
