August 6, 200717 yr Author Johnny Bets On Gatsby Johnny is one of a number of musicians who have designed cover art for classic Penguin novels re-issued this week. The classic titles including Dracula, Animal Farm, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, The Waves by Virginia Wolf and Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland are being packed in blank art paper quality jackets and the idea is that readers should make the outside of the book as personal as their reaction to the inside. On drawing a betting slip for the cover of F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Johnny explains his thought process: “I like books by depressing alcoholics. I was running a book on the Grand National in Tokyo and I was writing out a betting slip for everyone, and decided that my bookie’s name was going to be Gatsby. So the cover of this book is a betting slip. It’s a great honour to design the cover of a Penguin. They’re undisputed classics”. More info here Source: Razorlight.co.uk

"If it were matched with a genuine talent and intelligence then fair enough, but he hasn't got either. He's just got a big gob." Source: NME.com
