Dead Children Playing: A Picture Book (Radiohead)

Dead Children Playing: A Picture Book (Radiohead)

by Dr Tchock (Author), Stanley Donwood (Author)

Synopsis

Stanley Donwood and the enigmatic Dr. Tchock are the elusive duo responsible for Radiohead's artwork. Featuring the apocalyptic scenes of the OK Computer album, the startling, sinister shadow of memory cast onto the present in the Kid A paintings, and the overwhelming information overload of Hail to the Thief's landscapes of conflict, Dead Children Playing presents some of the most iconic artwork of our time, and also highlights lesser-known paintings by the talented duo.

Media Reviews
The publisher of this book wishes me to vouch for the writer of this book who is a friend of mine in order to utilise whatever celebrity kudos the writer of this quote, i.e., me, has left in order to advance the sales of this book. This has been duly done now in the form of this quote. I am sure the book is very good though I cannot remember what it is called or whether I have read it. I've read lots of his stuff and it's always good and I am in no way biased. - Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead
