Based on 'The Peacock 'At Home' by A Lady (1807),and a sequel to 'The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast', verses written with George E. Ryder. Alan Aldridge (active from c.1967).Born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.Attended Romford Technical College but left at 15 and supported himself with an assortment of jobs including insurance clerk,repertory actor,dock hand and barrow boy.In 1963,he took a short evening course in commercial graphics. Soon,he had achieved spectacular success with designs for posters,book covers,record sleeves,car,furniture and body painting,as well as magazine and book illustration.In 1966,he was appointed art director of Penguin books,but left in 1968 to set up his own studio,Ink,which received commissions from many of the leading pop groups and glossy magazines of the day, including the Beatles' ill-fated Apple Corps. As Aldridge's career embodied many of the aspirations of the 'swinging sixties',so his drawing epitomised the graphic idiom of the decade.His use of brilliant 'psychedelic' colours in combination with ebulliently decorative draughtsmanship gave his work the vigorous popular appeal of fairground art; but he used this apparently unsophisticated language to convey ideas of almost surrealist complexity,abounding in visual ambiguities, allusions and jokes.Stylistically his most influential innovation was his use of the airbrush for fine colour graduation and shading over much of the picture surface,giving the illusion of undulating movement within the crisp contours.As his draughtsmanship developed,he increasingly incorporated graaphic references to cultural traditions as diverse as oriental painting and pre-Columbian art,while his imagery continued to invite closer and more intense scrutiny.After disbanding Ink,Aldridge continued to work freelance,finding a regular publisher in Jonathan Cape.In 1974, he won the Children's Book of the Year Award with 'Butterfly Ball'; more recently he has designed animated films.
