Colin Fulcher aka Barney Bubbles

He was a radical English graphic artist, whose work primarily encompassed the disciplines of graphic design, painting and music video direction. He is the famous by his contribution to the graphic design associated with the British independent music scene during the 1970s and early 1980s. His record sleeves symbol-laden and riddle-laden were his most visible output. He was equally adept at design as he was a illustration, unlike contemporaries in the album cover field such as Roger Dean  and Hispgnosis.
From Colin Fulcher to Barney Bubbles he became in the late sixties, when he was working either part-time or full-time with the underground magazines such as Oz and later Friends/Frendz. He liked pseudonyms and he was using them. One of the things that distinguishes Barney's designs from other illustrators of this period is a frequent use of hard graphical elements.

He brought awareness of 20th century, constructivism and futurism to post Punk Imagery. It was only a matter of time until designers took the punk aesthetic to the level of commercial context.

He also designed books, videos etc. Barney was a perfectionist and he didn't believe that his artwork was good. His immersions in his his work, and the continued pursuit of inspiration through drugs, drink and taking off on lone hitchhiking expeditions, meant that he often lived an anxious, knife-edge existence, he was working very hard.
