Alan Aldridge began doing art in 1965 without any art education at all after a chance meeting with the art director for
Penquin Books. Alan was doing drawings of the patrons of a pub when they met and soon after he began doing illustrations for their books. In the next two years he took over as art director himself.
Shortly after he began designing posters, album covers, and many different types of rock memorabilia items for some of great iconic rock stars of our time including
The Who, The Beatles, Elton John and many others beginning the career that was to make him an art legend of the rock world.
