George E. Salisbury (born October 4, 1971) is a film and music video director and graphic designer based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Career[edit]

George Salisbury is best known for his work as the principal art director and music video director with the American rock band The Flaming Lips.[1]

Salisbury has also worked with The Starlight Mints, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, and BMX biking biker Matt Hoffman.

The Flaming Lips (1994–present)[edit]

Both Salisbury and Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, are responsible for a distinct visual style that is the band's trademark for both their live shows and the album cover designs and packaging.[2] One of Salisbury's earliest contributions to the Flaming Lips' live shows, is the "Flames of Destiny" flaming cymbal. Salisbury orchestrated and executed the feat by filling an inverted cymbal on a stand with alcohol and then lighting it on fire while the band played in the background.[3]

His eye is featured along with the tongue of J. Michelle Martin-Coyne on the cover of Yeah, I Know It's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs Is Still Radical EP in 1991.[3]

Salisbury, along with Wayne Coyne and Bradley Beesley, co-directed Christmas on Mars a full-length feature film released in 2008.[4]
