Blake produced the portrait of Peel that appears on the cover of the posthumous compilation John Peel - Right Time, Wrong Speed 1977-1987.
To mark the approach of Blake's 80th birthday, the artist produced an undated version of his iconic Sgt. Pepper album cover with a fresh set of "family, friends and icons", who included Peel.
