David Jowett Greaves Oxtoby (born 23 January 1938 in Horsforth), is an artist associated with the Pop Art Movement.
in 1978 a book of his work "Oxtoby's Rockers", with text by David Sandison was published by Phaidon Press.
[4][5][6] He has said of his work painting images of popstars and pop music: "I started working on musical subject matter while studying graphics at Bradford College of Art during the fifties, completing three or more self-imposed record covers a day.
These were actually small paintings (a fact I didn’t realize for many years) with lettering typeset in the Print Department and shoved on as an afterthought."
in the 1980s Oxtoby gave up exhibiting so as to devote himself to a series of large paintings on rock music.
