One of the best artist with his own unique style of work, Storm Thorgerson.
I have one of his books which i got from a street shop in fort, Mumbai, like 10 years back.. Storm Thorgerson - Hypnosis..
Covers of Led Zep, Pink Floyd, and many more...
He has given in details all his work secrets and styles and most of his creative process.
Amazing work...
May his soul rest in peace.

I have one of his books which i got from a street shop in fort, Mumbai, like 10 years back..

Browsing through books and magazine in Fort was fun. I used to look for PC Magazines, Computer Graphics, Logo Designing, National Geographic and Mad Magazines. Old 'PC Magazines' were sold for Rs. 50 in clear plastic wrap in almost new condition. Hundreds of pages of information. As I had learnt 2D Animator Pro, Silicon Graphics Computer ads in CGW Magazines were so alluring.
Almost from CST to Churchgate there used to be book sellers. Until Mr. Khairnar came. Nothing wrong in the work he did but nowadays they are replaced by filthy movie and Games/software CD sellers. I think only couple of book sellers remain near fountain statue.
Regards
