===Teenburger Designs=== [[File:Brinsleyschwarzeponymous.jpg|thumb|right|The original UK LP sleeve of [[Brinsley Schwarz]]'s ''Brinsley Schwarz'' (1970) designed by Barney Bubbles]] Early in 1969, Bubbles took the lease on a three-storey building at 307 [[Portobello Road]] in Notting Hill Gate, West London. He converted the ground-floor space into a graphic art studio, which he named Teenburger Designs. With a business association established with two entrepreneurs, Edward Molton and Stephen Warwick, and with John Muggeridge from Conran serving briefly as an assistant, he set about working primarily for the music industry. His first record sleeve design was for [[Quintessence (English band)|Quintessence]]'s LP ''[[In Blissful Company]]'' (1969). The gatefold sleeve design uses illustrations by Gopala on the front and back, and contains a monochrome glued-in booklet inside. Teenburger also provided record sleeve designs for the bands [[Brinsley Schwarz]] and [[Red Dirt (band)|Red Dirt]], as well as [[Vertigo Records|Vertigo]] artists such as [[Cressida (progressive rock band)|Cressida]], [[Gracious!]] and Dr Z, whose LP ''Three Parts to My Soul'' is particularly noted for its complex and colourful fold-out sleeve. Following the closure of Teenburger in 1970 as a result of the disappearance of Molton and Warwick, Bubbles worked as the designer of the underground newspaper [[Friends (magazine)|''Friends'']] (later renamed ''Frendz'').<ref>Days in the Life: Voices from the English Underground, 1961β1971, Jonathon Green (Pimlico 1998) {{ISBN|978-0-7126-6665-7}}</ref> Bubbles' son, Aten Skinner, who is also an artists and graphic designer, was born in 1972.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://davidwills.wordpress.com/2008/08/26/colin-fulcher-at-school/ | title=Colin Fulcher at School | date=26 August 2008 }}</ref>
