Designing an album cover for Marc Bolan

5:05

said it's

5:05

made of this it's got an album cover out

5:08

and he needs a cover done I think you'd

5:09

be good for it so I started talking to

5:11

Mark about what sort of cover you want

5:14

oh it was difficult getting any sense

5:15

out of him really it was all hey Cosmic

5:17

man you know it's all like everything

5:19

was very Cosmic so I I I came up with

5:22

this idea and that was um thanks to

5:24

David I got that and i' got a lot of

5:26

6:02

painting and think what are they think

6:05

what are they thinking about there's

6:06

something going on in their head which

6:08

is what they want to know about so the

6:10

narrative in my paintings is you know

6:13

make up your own mind what's going on

6:15

because I'm just leaving it open to you

6:18

so you don't use does that make sense

6:19

that does it does having known David

6:22

since his
