An outstanding website details all his work. Died so prematurely. Would love to have had a beer / glass of vino with this fella!

How can I have missed this artist’s work for so long? It is brilliant and his talent shines through in every one, I shall now be looking out for examples of his work wherever and whenever I can. One small detail; I think he designed record sleeves, they were never referred to as covers then. A bit like dust jackets on books which people now call wrappers or covers. GRRH !!

GA, great spread. James Boswell captures so well the press of humanity against a backdrop on interesting architectural detail. His work contains a great deal of humor too…

His ability to convey so much with an economy of line was sheer brilliance.
