http://www.switchopen.com/About-Contact"UKPA artist Nick Rhodes recently released another wonderful new Richard Hawley tour print above so we thought we would take the oppotunity to ask how the collaberation came about and his ongoing working relationship with Mr Hawley.
”I have known Richard for 6 years now. Having met him at End Of The Road Festival in Dorset. I produce the official festival poster and sell my music prints in a mini marquee at the festival. Richard visits the festival most years and he bobs in for a chat and buys my print. He told me a few years back that he has them all framed going up his is stairs at home. So that was the first introduction. I have been bugging Richard for as long as I have seen him at the festival, to work together. It just this past year that Richard and I have got to it! The first print was for a home gig in Richards home town of Sheffield. It was a pretty darn big gig to do, as it was his home turf in the city hall. The print sold out instantly much to my relief! which in turn I have been commissioned for the next 2 prints.
Richard is great to work for in terms of artwork, as his lyrics and music inspire me a lot, so its great to be able to visualise my interpretation of his songs.”
So no, a different Nick Rhodes.
