Martin Aston

Hard to believe, but Vaughan died, after a very short illness, on December 29th. RIP the genius, unique, mischievous, irrepressible, iconic, inspirational, maverick force of nature Vaughan. Thank you for all your work, support, encouragement, hilarity. From a personal point of view, besides all your 4AD label work, you designed the book jacket for my 4AD biography, across hardback, limited edition and paperback editions, and surpassed everything I hoped it would be; it was a dream collaboration. Thank you, Vaughan. Goodbye Vaughan. I will miss you.
