"The Jean Genie'' by David Bowie
About Morgan Howell FRSA

Known for his giant, hand-painted 3-D facsimiles of classic paper sleeve 45s Morgan creates a one-off unique supersized painting of each single. The natural wear incurred by the treasured disc is duly rendered in paint, making for a desirable artwork and consciousness portal for vinyl junkie music heads everywhere.
Howell's attention to detail is fastidious, down to the authentically distressed and creased canvas that doubles as up-scaled paper sleeves and the tiny imperfections round the edges of the labels of the 27” vinyl records. He additionally offers prints and also takes commissions as long as he hasn’t previously painted the song.
His painting of David Bowie’s 'The Jean Genie' sits proudly on the wall at Sony Music, 'Yesterday' by The Beatles was displayed at the iconic Capitol Building in L.A..
Examples of his work have been a permanent feature of the Radio 2 Green Room alongside Elton John’s piano, and The Barbican in London and the National Portrait Gallery.
Howell’s passion has always been art and, in 2005, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Art.
