The released cover still featured a near profile.Ĭongratulations to Dylan on his Nobel Prize and to Glaser on his lasting influence. Griffin painted the final but Dylan rejected the art. Rick Griffin drawing commissioned by Dylan for his “Down in the Groove” album, 1988. In addition it has been interpreted over time by other renowned illustrators, including Paul Davis, Stephen Alcorn and the late Rick Griffin. Tad runs his design and branding studio, Carpenter Collective, with his wife, Jessica, in Kansas City, Missouri.
He has written and illustrated over a dozen books for readers of all ages. It has also appeared on a multitude of posters and book covers over the years, including many authorized tour posters. Tad Carpenter is a designer, illustrator, teacher, and author. Whether his opinion has changed over time remains to be seen but there is no question that his profile has sported several of his albums since. Ironically Dylan did not like Glaser’s portrait, first as the cover of a book and later as the aforementioned poster. There is yet another legacy to the 50 year old poster that was included as added value in Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits, and that is how the recent Nobel Prize winner’s profile is perhaps the most utilized and most recognizable in modern history: I also traced the origins of Glaser’s poster in a previous article. He earlier covered the history of the iconic image here.
These perspectives converge in a portrait of one. Recently Steven Heller wrote of Glaser’s Ghosts, on how Milton’s Marcel Duchamp-inspired 1966 Bob Dylan poster has spawned myriad parodies, homages and rip offs. A stunning illustrated edition featuring original colour artwork by Tad Carpenter, the artist behind.
