Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware

EP224: George Underwood


Listen Later

This episode features George Underwood, album cover designer, artist and early schoolmate of David Bowie.


After deciding that the music business was not for him, George returned to art studies and then worked in design studios as an illustrator. Initially he specialised in fantasy, horror and science fiction book covers.


Most significantly, his art work for the first T Rex album and later David Bowie’s Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust album covers established him as a leading and highly creative illustrator. Over this period George produced literally hundreds of book covers, LP and CD covers, advertisements, portraits and drawings, and today George is a fully recognised fine artist.


Ladies and gentlemen, meet the very talented George Underwood.
