Guy Peellaert

He studied fine arts in Brussels, and became heavily influenced by American and British pop culture, film noir and pulp literature, before making his debut as a decorator for theaters and comic strip artist.

He moved to Paris, where he worked variously in advertising, set design for the casino and the Crazy Horse nightclub, film and television.

His comic strip, Les Aventures de Jodelle, was published in 1966 in the controversial French magazine Hara-Kiri.

[1] The book consisted of Peellaert's visual illustrations which celebrated and exaggerated the rebel heritage of pop music and, particularly, rock and roll, with commentary by Cohn.

According to the record-collector publication Goldmine price guides, these albums have been among the most expensive record collectibles of all time, as high as thousands of US dollars for a single copy.

Instead, in 1974, when the Diamond Dogs album was first released, it was printed as a 17.5"x32", lithographic poster, by Mainman, the production company established in 1972 by David Bowie's manager, Tony Defries.

Peellaert also designed film posters for films like Taxi Driver (by Martin Scorsese), Short Cuts (by Robert Altman), L'argent (by Robert Bresson), Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire (by Wim Wenders)[1] He also designed programme titles for television shows on the French TV channel Antenne 2 in 1982.
