Matisse and Corset Ads on Bob Dylan's Mid-80s Album Art
The Empire Burlesque Interviews #6: Nick Egan
Our weeklong Empire Burlesque 40th anniversary series concludes with one final interview. Taking us home is Nick Egan, the designer of the album cover, as well as of the Biograph box set and Dylan’s original Drawn Blank art book. Egan came out of the British punk and new-wave scenes of '70s and '80s, designing iconic album and single covers for artists like INXS, Duran Duran, and The Clash (his cover for The Psychedelic Furs’ Midnight to Midnight is a personal favorite).
Below, he tells me about how he got the gig after Sex Pistols svengali Malcolm McLaren turned it down, his close working relationship with Dylan in the '80s, and why the photo on the Empire Burlesque cover is not his fault.
