His projects include The Last Resort (1983–1985), The Cost of Living (1987–1989), Small World (1987–1994) and Common Sense (1995–1999).

Vivienne Westwood
Located in Austin, TX
Signed limited edition print of acclaimed British fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood by photographer, Andrew Cotterill.
“I took this picture when i was assisting in the early 90’s. The photographer i was working with said take one of my other cameras and shoot what you see. It was a very kind gesture to mention this, so i did and had a great time. Vivian was wonderful and totally eccentric having created this tiny room she called her “Saloon”. Its was a little scary but probably got me on my way.”
This print is available in different sizes:
12 x 16” - Edition 25
16 x 20” - Edition 20
20 x24” - Edition 15
30 x 40” - Edition 10

Andrew's, association with music runs true and deep - his passage into photography was a natural progression from his passion of the 80's club and warehouse-party scene. Andrew's entry into magazines came, suitably enough, with pictures of Public Enemey's Chuck D...
