The Art of the Book.

“Through The Eyes of a Spy” featuring art and design by Ben Frichot.

Frichot has a long history of design for the music industry. His work has featured on posters for artists such as Nick Cave, Motorhead and The Foo Fighters to name a few. He is also an exhibiting artist and photographer.

For this book, he was commissioned by Thompson to create a series of graphics specifically to accompany the poetry. He may have also played a little guitar for the whiskey Medicine Show too. But that’s another story.
