Original artwork

"....King Dido was an interesting job.....  art director Dave Larkin,
 told me I could do something 'a' bit different'  if I felt like it',  'nothing abstract' ...just 'something to give it a slightly different 'look'   compared to other covers..... I just simply put a white line around the main man, to 'lift him out' of the background..  which again was from old photos of the very poor area of London's East End,  which I found in a fascinating book I bought in a Charing Cross Road bookshop.."
