Steve Parke and Graffitti Bridge

I've allways loved the cover of Graffitti Bridge. The little winged figures on it are incredible. Does anyone know if they came from a different artist besides Steve Parke, or if theres anywhere that they appear in a larger format. If not, where and who should i ask about it. Any contact info or personal website for Steve himslef?

the GB cover is about the only thing Parke did that I ever really liked.


If you want a larger copy of it, try to find the 2-sided GB promo poster.

Limited edition signed (by Steve Parke) prints of the GB artwork (70 x 40cm or thereabouts) were available from Glam Slam mail order many years ago. I bought one for approx. $50. I had it professionally framed and it looks cool. Try searching Ebay for a copy.

yeah, after graffiti bridge, parke's stuff got progressively cheesy. i think the guy's a good artist, but i also think prince hands his designers a copy of MYST and tells em to imitate it. barf

This album cover seems to be inspired by the album cover of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis.

the little winged figures are inspired from the Italian master Giotto, who painted beautiful frescos.
