Working on an illustrated book inspired by Kid A—looking for artistic collaborators
Hi Everyone -
I hope this is ok to post here
A few weeks ago, my wife and I welcomed our first daughter, Ellie.
Since she was born, I've been working on a passion project called Kid E. The idea is to create a hardcover illustrated book inspired by Kid A that I can give to her when she's older.
It's not meant to be an explanation of the album or what Radiohead intended. It's just my own interpretation of the emotions and themes I've always connected with as we embarked on this journey.
Each song represents a different stage of her life through original artwork and letters from me to her.
The artists I've worked with on this so far have been amazing, but none of them were particularly familiar with Radiohead or Kid A. I'd love to collaborate with someone who already has a deep connection to the album and might bring ideas or interpretations that I never would have thought of myself.
If you're an artist—or know someone who might be interested—I would genuinely love to connect. I'm especially drawn to watercolor, mixed media, and surreal, dreamlike styles, but I'm really just looking for artists who connect with the feeling of Kid A.
This project has become really important to me, and I'd be grateful for any recommendations, ideas, or interest in collaborating.
Thanks so much for reading.
