Mott the Hoople were an English rock band well known for being a part of the popular glam rock scene of the mid-70's. The lead singer/songwriter, Ian Hunter, continued on for many years as a solo artist. The record company asked for an illustrated solution, and because Ian's hair and glasses are so iconic, that's where we started.
