a) Find a good artist, and commission him/her to make an EP/album cover to your specifications.
b) Make the EP/album cover yourself.
or
c) Find an image or a photo/picture you fancy of the web, and contact it's original creator/web host to use said image/photo/picture for your EP/album cover.

I would usually make the EP/album cover myself. It may not look like much most times, but it is a personal touch to the album.

Well, if you're a good photographer/graphic artist/artist, then that is the cheapest and easiest solution. Heck, I'll give it a go. (by that I mean, uploading a photo I took without adding anything to it (no artist name, no album name. just a photo with some slight fixes.))
That said, do you have an album where you did the art yourself?
