Artwork by frequent Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood is set to appear on billboards across the UK.
The artist, who created the visuals for Radiohead’s albums ‘Kid A’, ‘OK Computer’ and ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ as well as Thom Yorke’s solo offering ‘The Eraser’, will be showing his artwork as part of the ‘Your Space or Mine’ project.
Teaming up with advertising specialists ‘BUILDHOLLWOOD?’ the artist has one piece on show called ‘Sol’ (pictured) which can currently be viewed on billboards in Islington, London.
A larger piece of work called ‘Set’ will soon be displayed on 48 billboards across the UK.

Speaking to Jackarts, Donwood said “Iâm trying to make pictures that elicit some kind of happiness. Itâs a novel concept for me.”
Earlier this year, Radiohead guitarist Ed OâBrien reassured Radiohead fans that the prospect of the band reconvening to make a new album âwill definitely happen”.
Speaking to NME back in April, he said the band were having âonline meetingsâ and âtalking about stuffâ. While he stressed that âfor the foreseeable future, everyone is doing their own thing,â OâBrien did add that “when it feels right to plug back into Radiohead, then we will”.
