The Art of Music, the Music of Art

John Squire, guitarist for Stone Roses and creator of their Pollock-inspired album art, boasts a full gallery of artwork. He also admits a penchant for the Jesus and Mary Chain, which found a way into his art as well. On the subject of creating album covers for Stone Roses, Squire admits:

I was also listening to a lot of Jesus And Mary Chain at the time and wanted to emulate some of their sounds and also express it visually and the splatter paints seemed the best way to do it.
