Stanley Donwood

Dan Rickwood (born 29 October 1968), known professionally as Stanley Donwood, is an English artist and writer.

Donwood also creates artwork for Glastonbury Festival, and has published books of short stories and a memoir.

He said: "I like to separate the person I am at home — washing up, vacuuming, picking up the kids from school and so on — from whoever Stanley Donwood is.

"[5] Yorke asked Donwood to produce the cover art for Radiohead's 1994 EP My Iron Lung.

"[9] In 2002, Donwood and Yorke won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for the special edition for the album Amnesiac.

[14] In November 2006, Donwood exhibited the original paintings and other artwork done by him and Yorke for Radiohead albums, at Iguapop Gallery in Barcelona.

[15] In May 2015, Donwood opened an exhibition of Radiohead artwork, The Panic Office, in Sydney, Australia, for which Yorke composed an original soundtrack.

The paintings, based on Islamic pirate maps and 1960s US military topographic charts, began as work for the Smile's first album, A Light For Attracting Attention (2022).

[22] He contributed stories to The Universal Sigh, a free single-issue newspaper created to promote Radiohead's 2011 album The King of Limbs.

In an interview with AllMusic, he explained it as an effort to reconnect with the process of print making and as a means to share his art in a larger format than the small, low-quality prints in album cover and insert art, "It's a way of getting pictures out in the way they should be seen; not as 4-colour litho on cheap paper, but as real pieces of artwork that have a much greater visual impact.
