Congratulations to P J Crook, a respected British artist, who has been awarded an MBE in the Queen’s bithday honours list today. She describes herself as an ‘English woman painter of grotesque crowds, rendered in strongly colored acrylic.’ Many of the recent King Crimson albums have been her original paintings, including the new Projekct ‘A Scarcity of Miracles’. PJ (or Dr Pamela Crook) lives in Cheltenham and is a good friend of Mr and Mrs Fripp.
