(Finally) Remembering Barney Bubbles

Feuilleton’s got a nice piece up about an oft-forgotten peer of Peter Saville‘s and Neville Brody‘s, the artist and designer, Barney Bubbles. In it, they do a great rundown of his album artwork, his illustration process, and why he’s never gotten much recognition for his influential work. It’s a great read, particularly if you’ve never heard of him.

…Barney Bubbles receives little posthumous attention outside the histories of his former employers. Since he was a major influence on my career I thought it time to give him at least part of the appraisal he deserves.
