Stanley Donwood

I first heard about this post-modernist painter when I was listening to Radiohead's seminal album, Kid A.
It turns that he's been a long-time collaborator with Thom Yorke (the frontman for Radiohead) for quite some time now. Full evidence of this collaboration came with Donwood doing the cover art for Yorke's solo album, The Eraser. 

The woodcut pieces (linocut technique) that Donwood did for Yorke's solo album was truly impressive in that the originals for the visuals were cut from wood and then pasted onto a 2d medium (e.g. paper). The separation between the black and whites is then more visibly seen as the more protruding and shortened crevices create more depth.
