A Foreigner's Tale

Mick Jones, the founder of Foreigner, has written the story of the band and his life. I was commissioned by publisher Rocket 88 to create the cover artwork.

The book tells of Mick's experiences performing with the Beatles in 1964, with Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding in 1967, with Johnny Hallyday, Spooky Tooth, George Harrison - and creating the band Foreigner. 

The book features classic and previously unseen photos from Mick's own collection and is available in two deluxe editions. Published as the band celebrate their 40th anniversary, it is now available to pre-order from www.foreignerbook.com.

"The Classic is a lavish, full colour hardback with specially commissioned cover art work."
"The Signature version is the same core book, but part of a strictly limited edition (500 copies). Each copy is signed by Mick Jones, bound in leather and presented in a clamshell box. It also includes two photographic prints; one of Foreigner in 1977 by Don Delessio, the other of the band in 2016, by Bill Bernstein."
