An album cover design I did for the celebrated MC5 guitarist, Wayne Kramer. I was living in London's Notting Hill area and his record company was at the bottom of my street. Somehow, I managed to wangle my portfolio into their offices and this is the ensuing art.
Aidan Hughes was born on Merseyside, England, and was formally trained by his father. His influences include: Golden Age comic artists Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and Jim Steranko; Russian Constructivism; the Italian Dynamo Futurista and the work of woodcut artists Frans Masereel and Lynd Ward.
Hughes began publishing his own comics before embarking on a commercial career, producing illustration and storyboards for clients such as Warner Bros., the BBC and The London Evening Standard. In the 80's he began a long-term collaboration with industrial band KMFDM, created BRUTE! pulp magazine and worked extensively in radio, TV and the media.
Hughes' other work includes: graphic design, short film making, computer games and animation.
