I have a couple of his books, one of which is signed, and it is amazing how many albums I have where Storm, and Hipgnosis, were responsible for the artwork.
He will be sadly missed.
Yes I love artwork he did. I have a book which features some of his works (100 Best Album Covers).
Sadly the vast majority of album covers are disappointing mugshots of the artist. Probably at the instance of unimaginative record companies. It really annoys me that artist are not being creative with their cover art when you can do amazing things like Storm did
