Alan Aldridge Limited Edition ink on archival paper Approx. 40x30. Hand signed and numbered by the artist. Includes certificate of authenticity.

This is in mint condition. Aldridge was born in 1943 in east London, he resided in Los Angeles and died 2017. Aldridge first worked as an illustrator at The Sunday Times Magazine. He was hired in March 1965 by Penguins chief editor Tony Godwin to become the art director of Penguin Books. As art director, he especially focused on science fiction book covers and introduced his style which resonated with the mood of the time. In 1968 he moved to his own graphic-design firm, INK, which became closely involved with graphic images for the Beatles and Apple Corps. During the 1960s and 1970s he was responsible for most Beatles & Elton John album covers. He helped create the graphic style of that era. His work is characterized by a flowing, cartoony style and soft airbrushing - very much in step with the psychedelic styles of the times. Excellent conditon.
