My friend Bob Linney, who has died aged 75, was a graphic artist whose vivid work spanned a wide range of mediums, including concert posters, book and record covers, murals and overseas development teaching aids.
Bob was born in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, to Keith Linney, a sea pilot, and Isobel (nee Thomson). He went to Harwich county high school in Essex and then gained a first in biology and a PhD in genetics at the University of Birmingham between 1966 and 1972.
