RIP Guy Peellaert



Brilliant Belgian artist Guy Peellaert is dead at the age of 74. Most famous for David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" cover, Guy was the chronicler of rock and roll. He created amazing tableaux featuring rock luminaries in paintings that captured their personae in a way that photos never could. His book "Rock Dreams" blew my mind when it came out in 1974. You can check out some of the images from the book, as well as his comics and other illustrations at his website.
