I find it very disappointing that, even today, Unfortunately, there have also been many small bands over the years, presumably fans of mine, who had appropriated my artwork for their album and CD covers. All the others paintings, including the sculpture used for Carcass’ “Heartwork”, 1993, I made for myself, many years before, which the bands, later, licensed for their own use after seeing them in my books. The last cover I, actually, painted as a commission was Steve Stevens & the Atomic Playboys in 1989. The first one, ever, was for a band called Walpurgis in 1969, then Emerson Lake and Palmer's 'Brain Salad Surgery' in 1973, Debbie Harry's 'Koo Koo' in 1981, and a series of 'lip' paintings which I made for ELP in 1986, that the group, finally, used on a CD they released in the mid 1990s. Of the, approximately, 20 records on which my artwork has been seen over the last 30 years, very few were created, specifically,įor album covers.
