Stanley talks us through the illustrations …
‘The first holloway drawing is what it is; and the dust jacket for Holloway is the most recent.
There are a few related things here too; Friday Woods is the first painting where trees appeared, whilst working on what was to become The King of Limbs, Radiohead’s latest record. It’s named after the woods in Essex where I used to play. Holding Hands was done for a children’s ABC book, for the letter H. Bad Wood I and II were done for the King of Limbs.
Larch Reflection was used on the merchandise for Radiohead’s tour in 2011/12. The Tiny Trees were drawn on business cards and sent to friends in tiny envelopes.
Some titles are self-explanatory; Drawn on the Train, February Holloway, Gold Holloway … I do a gold holloway each year now, for the winter solstice. They’re screenprinted with powdered gold in very small editions.’
