For the past few months, Andie Airfix (responsible for DEF LEPPARD's iconic album covers of Pyromania, Hysteria, Adrenalize and Euphoria, as well as most artwork used for single releases of those albums) has been keeping a blog called 'B*b G#ld*f Stole My Sunglasses?, in which he tells stories about his work, the artists he works with, and everything that comes with it.
Part 3 is now available. The following is an excerpt:
