Stanley Donwood is the pen name of English writer and artist Dan Rickwood.
He is probably best known for his close association with the British rock group Radiohead, having created all their album and poster art since the My Iron Lung Ep (1994). Since 1996, he has also collaborated with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and others on the band’s websites, and appeared in the occasional band webcast and the 2001 Grammy Award ceremony.
Aside from his work for Radiohead, Donwood also maintains his own website, Slowly Downward, where he publishes his own short stories and various other writings, all of which have a unique and often odd style. Donwood’s writings have also been used in his Radiohead album artwork, and frequently on Radiohead’s official website.
