Whitehead has said in an interview that Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" was an inspiration for the character.. The cover for Selling England by the Pound was painted by Betty Swanwick. Peter Gabriel saw the original drawing, called The Dream, at an exhibition and asked Swanwick to modify it for use as the album cover.
