Rediffusion, Arnold Schwartsman OBE & Our Surreal Coca Cola Calendar (1968)

After Art School in 1966 I worked stoking boilers at a local telephone exchange from 6am until 2pm – just so I could paint in the afternoons. I then got a job at Rediffusion’s Graphics studios as someone there had seen my drawings and paintings in a graphic arts magazine, and they found me and hired me.

Publishing Opportunities, Kickstarter & The Peter Gabriel Reflections (1978) Limited Edition Exhibition Catalogue

It’s a brave new world for me having a direct relationship with people who look at, enjoy and and buy … More

The America Issue – For British Vogue with Part 2 (Pennsylvania – Waiting for The Amish 1973 )

The scene reminded me of an Andrew Wythe painting that I had always adored and had influenced me so much in my own painting and into photography. I felt the extraordinary poetic beauty of the synchronicity of being in the same landscape he had viewed and which had inspired him and now inspired me.

Ry Cooder – Guitar Genius and My Interview Fiasco At The Athenaeum Hotel (1988)

I kept saying “Yes, Arthur in a moment, can’t you see I’m trying to interview one of the greatest guitarists in the world”. I thought a faint smile drifted across Ry’s face but I think that was wishful thinking. Eventually Arthur could contain himself no longer and he said within earshot of Ry ” Mr Arrow you have toilet paper stuck on your forehead”.

The Shades of Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson and Mott The Hoople (1974)

I was always admired the mystique created by Ian Hunter always wearing shades much like the fabulous Jeff Lyne of ELO, it is his ‘look’. Shades are part of rock and roll imagery that Dylan used and in my opinion Bono has never quite pulled off (sorry Bono).

The Mighty Quinn – Ravey Street Studio (2005) by Clive Arrowsmith

Marc’s genius is his painstaking attention to detail, using scale and materials to produce radical and stunning forms. He draws on classical art in a very imaginative way, his blood head self portrait for example reminded me of the death masks of old which were also cast directly from the body.
