gallery le blog pagesblanches Record Covers - RodneyMatthews.com Rodney Matthews is perhaps best known for his record cover designs, and for good reason; he has been responsible for well over seventy since he was commissioned by Thin Lizzy in 1969. Strangely, Rodney could have obtained more commissions in this genre had he been a better businessman. During the Sixties and Seventies he had played with his band on the same stages as many other well known acts: Cream, Manfred Mann, Slade, Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes, Yes, and Genesis to name a few, but it hadn't occurred to him to take along his portfolio to solicit work! He was also getting commissions from David Howells at MCA Records in the early '70s, but for black & white caricature and cartoon work for Stackridge rather than the Osibisa (and later Yes) covers that fell to another designer and illustrator from Howells. His first interest in record cover design goes back to the 1950s when he beheld the Bill Haley 'Rock Around the Clock' EP.
Your Walrus Hurt the One you Love The Art of Greg Horn - Illustrator of comic books, video games and advertising CoranKizerStone (Coran "Kizer" Stone) on deviantART Renaat Veris Artworks Renaat Veris was born in Noorderwijk ( Belgium) on January 30, 1940. He lives and works in Grobbendonk, where his Atelier can also be visited. Veris is an artist with many facets. His oeuvre includes oil paintings, aquarelles, pastels and prints depicting landscapes, still-lifes, flowers, interiors, miniatures and portraits.It is difficult and probably pointless to try to place him in a particular artistic school or movement. Various historical foundations can be pointed out in his art but he never feels limited or bound by them. Veris often refers, in forms or symbols, to death. A collection of his paintings has been bought by the State of Belgium, by the Flemish Community, by the Royal Library of Brussels, by the City of Antwerp, by the Belgian Government and by the most important museums of the country, as there are; the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels, in Antwerp and in Gent. Two monographs have been edited about his art.
