My husband, Ciarán “KO” Ennis, who has died aged 83, was a printmaker whose company produced posters and record covers for artists such as Paul McCartney, Lou Reed and Van Morrison in the 1960s and 70s. In the second half of his life he drew on this experience to become a long-serving printmaking tutor in adult education.
It was a chance introduction to Mick Jagger and David Bailey that led KO to set up Blue Egg Printing and Design in the late 60s. From studios in north and west London, Blue Egg (later Leisure Print) also produced work for the Who, Monty Python and many others, much of it through the music promoter Harvey Goldsmith.
