The image above shows Thom Yorke (lead vocalist) of Radiohead (left) and Dan Rickwood; pen name Stanley Donwood (right) hard at work perfecting a piece of Radiohead promotional art. The two met at Exeter university as art students, to date, Rickwood has created all the Radiohead related artwork since 1997 when he joined the band to design the 'Ok Computer' cover.
Dan Rickwood is not only an artist, he is also an author of several short stories as well as a talented graphic designer. His artwork has been displayed at various exhibitions around the world from Holland to Barcelona which has gained him much critical acclaim. We have included a link to his website (below).

In 2002, Rickwood and Yorke won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for the Special Edition for the album Amnesiac which has the song Pulk/pull (revolving doors). Donwood's writing has also been used in Radiohead album artwork, and frequently on Radiohead's official website. He is in essence a member of the band although he is no musician, the artwork he creates play a fundamental role in the band's overall image and promotion of their music.
