	Pink Floyd and the Publius Enigma: The Storm Thorgerson interview
		Afterall Storm produced the graphics for TDB, developed conceptual artistic directions taken in the artwork, etc. One must be informed of content to develop a concept.
		Moreover, it is clear to me that Storm Thorgerson must have in some way been briefed about what The Division Bell was about, any meanings within, or special conceptual concerns in the music and lyrics.
		I have wrote Storm twice now, the first time asking him the 50 million dollar question and the second time I sent him the entire damn Publius history file with one line from me: "Read this Storm, and maybe you could figure out who Publius is".

		Storm is the maker of my favourite album cover Catherine Wheel - Chrome.
		Storm may be old, but his artwork and concepts for the music industry is probably the strongest there is. Pink Floyd, Mars Volta, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, The Cranberries and a bunch of others have all gotten the touch from the wizard.
		I met Storm at an exhibition in Norway, and he is so funny and intelligent.

		Storm recalls whimsically that he was told some fans cut the side of the album package with a razor blade so they could slide the vinyl out without harming the wrap, and thus to this day have never seen the photo of the burning man in their own package.

		"I like pictures that don't necessarily haven an explanation off pat," Storm Thorgerson says of the beguiling sleeves that cemented the reputation of Hipgnosis, the design group he co-founded in 1968.
		Either way, Hipgnosis typified the "daily departures from reality" that dressed up prog rock sleevess - The Nice's Elegy, Wishbone Ash's Argus and Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy among them, plus numerous designs for 10cc, UFO, Yes and most famously, all Floyd sleeves since 1968 (sic).
