Oli East’s artwork for Elbow’s award-winning album The Seldom Seen Kid is being donated to the Manchester Art Gallery‘s permanent Manchester collection, Guy Garvey has told him. Oli, still basking in the ‘new dad’ glow, notes on his blog that he was also liked the frame the band had for his artwork, made from salvaged wood from old bannisters in the pub where he used to work. Oli’s latest work, Proper Go Well High is available now and the next work he is involved in, Berlin and That, should be coming from Blank Slate in 2010.
