THE STORY OF THE PAINTING
——————————————-
When Philip saw the artwork he just loved it and suggested the letter style would be perfect for the new band logo he felt was needed. Up till then, I was doing variations of Tim Booth’s beautiful Cadillac style design, which I adapted for the ‘Vagabonds’ album and poster and ‘The Rocker’ poster. From that point onwards the famous and familiar logo I designed was used. It was designed to be printed in two colours so I have added the second colour as originally intended. It was to be varied with fawn (above), electric blue and light purple for the print run but ended up in black and white only. Still looked pretty good. I see bootlegs of this artwork everywhere, even on O’Connell bridge in Dublin where it sells all the time –eh, no I don’t get a cent -not something that bothers me anyway. Life is too short.
