Storm Thorgerson’s artwork for Offspring's 2003 album ‘Splinter’ form part of a series of twenty prints, each in an edition of twenty known as the 2020 Series. Storm talks about how he arrived at the idea for the Moonstab . . .
"I was unreasonably wary that Offspring would be possibly as aggressive as their music, but, to the contrary, they were very charming. And for their album, Splinter, released in 2003, they commissioned four pictures from us. One of these is known as ‘Glass Family’ and another as ‘Moonstab’, both in the 20/20 collection.
"This highly graphic design is an amalgam of something observed in nature, a natural event, and an interpretation of the title. I imagined that the splinter of the title might be the splinter that broke a heart, the heart of a lover betrayed, which I am sure was probably the subject of one or two of the songs."
