Artist's Comments

What will the wee rascal get up to next? Finished this tonight. Been workin on this at work when its quiet for last few weeks on and off. For any of you who are familar with Iron Maiden, this is my version of the 'killers' coverwork. I am using this character in alot of the band artwork similar to how maiden had 'eddie', we have.....well I haven't thought of a name yet. Suggestions in a self addressed envelope and send to; the friend in my face, my head, on top of me neck, upper torso- ME.
Pencil on A4 paper.
Changed the colour slightly on photoshop.

Stunningly detailed and shaded. I love the structure and tones. Complex and atmospheric. Great skeletal look.

Thanks very much, glad you like. Got some really worried looks from some parents in the shop with their kids. Kept me amused.

You're welcome. I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan too. I saw them recently in concert. They still rock.

Thankyou very much. Hmm... I 'll have to put that top of the list since you got in there so quick! Fuck, this is gonna be interesting to see what's been thought of. Great craic!!

christ for moment i thought it was another of your children's book illustrations... be a great album cover i think, don't know if i would compare it to the Iron Maiden covers .. this is much better, seriously..do you plan to color this or would it lose to much detail? oh a reminder , you forgot to tell folks to stuff a few quid in the envelope when they send in their suggestions.... maybe Donald, reminds me of my brother in law, hes spineless too... peace

HA! Cheers dude! Yeah I think it may be used in some shape or form. Our singer Tom wants to use it as a t-shirt design, but unless we pay a shit load of cash to get it done right, there may be too much detail. Thought about colouring it too on photoshop, possibly in the near future. Will have to stick up the inlay for you to have a look at. Again using the same character, it turned out quite cool. Dunno if I should post the one with or without lyrics on it as you gotta read his stuff. True poet. Thanks again man.

They certainly do. Steve Harris is the reason I swopped my tennis racket for a bass!
