You were the unofficial MEMBER of PINK FLOYD ......
Thank you very much for all the visual pleasures and pure impacts that are now embbeded in the DARK side of my brain ... Your works will never be forgotten ... If you ask me, they are a part of HUMAN cultural legacy that should represent the whole culture of plant Earth ......

Storm had a stroke in 2003 which rendered him paralyzed, so if it appears that he's "grumpy" it's probably because he is. He passed away in April 2013....RIP.

[@marc8131]

Storm was a very talented man who had designed a lot of iconic album covers. He left us to soon.

R.I.P great gent I studied art at college here in UK, my father passed away 2 weeks after starting and it was hard to gather the motivation to carry on. This man motivated me along with Floyd to continue, but him specifically with my art. Love you, Storm

[@filax11]

Finest album cover designer ever.

[@giuseppepiccirillo8502]

The creator of the most beautiful covers in the history of Pink Floyd.

[@spencerpugh4248]

if it wasn't for him,there would have never been a Pyramid with a rainbow,a cow standing in a field,two men shaking heads while ones on fire,a pig flying by battersea powerstation,two metal heads,and 800 hospital beds.R.I.P.

[@Syfoll]

Honestly, all Floyd covers are amazing. Saucerful of Secrets is amazing looking, same as Ummagumma. I know that he doesn't like the Meddle cover since to him it seems half-assed, but the colours in that are absolutely perfect

[@juancrownvirusmercury4600]

He was a genious, putting things in the right place

[@juancrownvirusmercury4600]

Perfect description.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Fabulous fellow, love his sense of humour almost as much as his art. RIP.

[@tomattas]

RIP Storm .... thanks for your great contribution to the band's success... Shine On !

[@WalterSobchak1000]

thanks Storm for your beautiful images over the years

[@sonofelohim9857]

Storms work is as thought provoking as the music of pink Floyd, I really hope Rodger, Nick, Richard and David realize how far down through the ages their musicianship has put a time stamp signature on alot of people's lives and can bring back with perfect recall who we were , what we we're doing, and even caused us to look forward with friends in toe where we hoped and thought we were headed......... " steps taken forward, then sleepwalking back again, dragged by the force of some inner tide..... greener, brighter, with friends surrounded, and night of wonder..... Thank you storm and thank you Floyd.......

[@aaajen]

what a gift to art!!!! I loved his book that he did called "mind over matter; images of Pink Floyd".....he's truly unique and talented!!

[@thevoid99]

r.i.p. storm, you rule

[@marx9868]

BRING LIFE TO THIS VIDEO AND STORM’s LEGACY

[@deepindercheema]

He was grumpy but with a twinkle in his eye. He was Mr 'Whine' gums to me.

[@echoesfearless2]

R.I.P Storm, Descanse em Paz.

[@maggy7121]

Great artist...thanks for your art

[@hypergallery]

Fantastic stuff.

[@karlschumaker]

Storm was considered as a fifth member of Pink Floyd. He was just as creative in designing the album covers for the band as well as the band was creative in making the music.He also designed record album covers for various other bands as well…”How I wish…How I wish you were here!!!”…Karl Schumaker 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@costas290i]

Muse's Absolution album cover can be seen in the background.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Yep. He also designed the cover for Black Holes & Revelations.

[@mostafaoladtyb5150]

rip genuis mr storm

[@kev_nohl]

Master! Rest in peace

[@thecinematicmind]

Heard Storm went to Summerhill and shame he's gone because I would ask about what he was influenced in art and what did he think of Summerhill!

[@MademoiselleNobs84]

GRAZIE STORM

[@einysjame]

It says around 0:10 that he worked on The Wall album. But he didn't, right?

[@jonathanwebb1489]

Michael Ellis correct!

[@LucasDrummer92]

R.I.P. :(

[@Sequins_]

@einysjame I think he did the cover art (the bricks) but Gerald Scarfe did the cartoons.

[@bichololon]

Genio. Difundiré tu nombre por el resto de mis dias

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

R.I.P

[@3Dasha]

What does he say at 0:33? "They are in fact ....."

[@jogabrielcosta4788]

Quiet humorous

[@onairmastering]

"The Metalheads"
Nice.

[@dmt2310]

Would it be alright to use this interview for a part of a school project?

[@idespisereading]

Nah, the whole thing was Gerald Scarfe. Supposedly they dropped out with hipgnosis around the time after Animals.

[@75cammo]

has to be one of the statements of all time discribing pink floyd: `whats the point?`, well thats the point!

[@rashidoun76]

Rip mr pharaoun he leave us a big pyramid!

[@theMstanglover]

RIP

[@vaivaivv]

Is he Icelandic, by any chance?

[@ok_jaja]

Rip

[@Juma1st]

@dellgriff80 oh will you hush? What's it with looking in the mirror themes? Take another look at this man's work, just a few mirrors involved. I also don't at all think he is rehashing anything or repeating himself, rather being innovativ , creative and influential while remaining an iconic style. Why does something that you obviously don't know bother you so much?

[@mamabari07]

can't be, maybe Swedish.. 'son's are Swedish, 'sen's are Norge..

[@FixiousMaximus]

'quite humorous'

[@juancrownvirusmercury4600]

This man didnt know how to use adodephotoshop
