Black is renowned for its elegant line, razor-sharp design, and dark pulp motifs, creating an instantly recognizable synergy of cool elegance and hot eroticism. R. Black's dark world is a steamy landscape of leggy sirens, gleaming bikes, spiked heels, and leather-clad devils. Black's voluminous catalog of work includes striking images created for Bauhaus, Elvis Costello, Misfits, GWAR, Ministry, and countless more, plus numerous album covers, t-shirt designs, and magazine covers, plus a memorable series of images for Original Sin Hard Cider, featured in this volume. Futura: The Art of R. Black is the first published collection of Black's striking designs. Foreword by Brian Ewing. • R. Black's work is well known among rock fans and amongst collectors of the booming rock poster market.
