The BBC reports that rock cartoonist Ray Lowry, best known for his work on The Clash's classic 1979 album London Calling, has died at the age of 64.

He was found dead at his home in Lancashire on Tuesday.

He contributed illustrations and cartoons to NME throughout the 1970s and 1980s as well as Punch, Private Eye and The Guardian, among others.

Lowry accompanied The Clash on their 1979 tour of the US and later designed the artwork for London Calling.

He had met the band during the Sex Pistols' now infamous Anarchy tour at the Electric Circus, Manchester.
