About Vincent

Little Shop of Rock is the official website for artist Vincent McEvoy.

Vincent McEvoy studied at Liverpool Art College. He first came to prominence with his award winning work at Polydor records for such artists as The Who and Eric Clapton.

"When I worked at Polydor the average was thirty albums a month, which is one a day....it was about seeing off artwork every day for one album and coming up with an idea, or a concept, for another."

He went on to Ogilvy & Mather in London, and later Madrid, where he produced campaigns for Guinness, Polaroid, American Express and Ford, American Express and Ford.

Vincent has Design & Art Direction awards as well as work exhibited as part of 'Rewind - 40 years of the best UK Advertising & Design’ at the V&A Museum.

"Working with Andy Warhol in the 1980’s gave me the impetus to make silk screens. There is a lot of fun in creating silkscreens with colours so vibrant. The hit and miss moments doing it all by hand can be magic (or totally  frustrating), compared with working with graphics digitally."

You can hear Vincent's interview with Johnnie Walker on BBC Radio 2 which he has made available on SoundCloud.
