From the late ‘60s to the early ‘80s, graphic design genius Barney Bubbles – “the past, the future, the possible!” – produced bewitching, unforgettable and wholly original album art for Quintessence, Hawkwind, Costello, Nick Lowe, the Damned, the Adverts, Billy Bragg and countless others. Paul Gorman’s ‘The Wild World of Barney Bubbles’ traces his story from life as a commercial artist for Conran through the hippie underground to his time creating some of the defining images of punk rock and as house designer for Stiff Records, the man who “made unprepossessing men look cool”. His ground-breaking work came at a time when the way albums were packaged was the main marketing tool, a time before video and the arrival of the CD destroyed the magical canvas of the 12-inch paper sleeve. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-World-Barney-Bubbles-Graphic/dp/0500296456 @PJGorman Paul Gorman books … https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Paul-Gorman/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3APaul+Gorman
