Nick Egan (born 4 July 1957 in London, England)[1] is a British visual design artist and director of music videos, commercials and film. He graduated from the Watford College of Art and Design with a DGA in 1976.[2] While attending college, he created cover art for the singles "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" and "Tommy Gun" for The Clash and T-shirt design for the single "Sheena is A Punk Rocker" for The Ramones. His first chart topping album cover was Dexys Midnight Runners' 'Searching For The Young Soul Rebels'. He collaborated with former Sex Pistols manager and fashion entrepreneur Mr. Malcolm McLaren,[3] for whom he designed the album cover for Bow Wow Wow's 'See Jungle'. His longtime partnership with McLaren led the art direction of McLaren's own inventive albums; Duck Rock and 'Fans'.
