Probably, he did most of our artwork
We also had a machinist, Joy Summers, who was a great artist, she designed our Car, Plane & Bike label and did some paining on A-2s

I heard from Pete Cpristopher (Kenny Market) fairly recently, he's working as a photographer these days

If I remember correctly Pete also used a guy called Newlyn Rowe (I think that's right spelling) who did a lot of work for Chris Farlowe, very distictive style to his work

The best of the lot was Paul Stagg who did anything really special, worked with us at THe Thrift Shop in the very early days, mid 1970s, amazing artist, still working, google him

They have aged really well Ken, look like a couple of mint originals
