The art of Radiohead sleeve designer Stanley Donwood – in pictures
Bath-based artist Stanley Donwood is well known to Radiohead fans as the man behind the band’s album artwork.
A new book explores his diverse career, from redesigning the covers of 21 JG Ballard novels to creating artwork for Glastonbury festival. For Donwood, regardless of the project, the process remains similar: “Everything is difficult to start with, gets harder, becomes impossible and then it ends up OK.”
