Ian McCausland (31 March 1944 – 9 August 2022) was an Australian artist best known for his music posters.

Career

Ian McCausland began his visual arts career in 1968 after winning a competition in Go-Set, an Australian music magazine.[1] After Go-Set closed in 1974, Philip Frazer took several of their creative team to a new political publication called The Digger, including McCausland as Art Director.[1]

Following the closure of The Digger, McCausland worked for Planet, a weekly music newspaper which was started by Michael Gudinski and Ray Evans.[1] The newspaper ran for two years until 1972,[2] but its founders formed Mushroom Records and McCausland joined them as the label's Art Director and designed their logo.[3][1] His first work was The Great Australian Rock Festival, Sunbury 1973, a triple LP recording of the 1973 Sunbury Pop Festival.[1] He went on to design album covers for Skyhooks, Daddy Cool, Chain, and Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons, and the tour poster for The Rolling Stones 1973 Australian tour.[1]

Although McCausland designed artwork for The Rolling Stones' album Goat's Head Soup the artwork was lost in the mail.[4] A commission for their next album was rejected, with the band instead going with Andy Warhol.[1] McCausland also created the title design for the 1986 Australian film Dogs in Space.[5]

McCausland died in August 2022.[6] His work was previously featured in Ed Nimmervoll’s book Under the Covers,[7]and has been featured in exhibitions of music posters.[3][8]
