   Yeah, I'm not a fan of his computer art either. Some of his Maiden and Gamma Ray covers (to name but a few) were absolutely killer!

	I'm not entirely impressed with his works, though the Dickinson/Maiden ones are pretty cool.

	I love painted album artwork and good photographs, but if it's obvious that the image is created with computers there's a good chance I just don't like it. Many of his later Maiden works would be really good if they didn't have the shiny computer surface.

	Yeah some just can�t make the transition to modern technology. Personally I find a lot of computer created cover artwork awful. But it�s an aquired taste. Derek was the master in the eighties. I used to have 14 Iron Maiden posters hanging on walls, my door and my ceiling in my 9 km2 room, back when I was living with my parents. I practically worshipped the man�s art.

	Not necessarily anything to do with music, but metal anyway, so I thought to post this here: http://derek.server311.com/ Here's Derek Riggs' homepage with lots of original album art. For example masses of Maiden stuff with amusing and revealing commentary. Very recommended to check out The man was a wizard with a paintbrush, but some of his computer created images are absolutely awful, for example the Timo Kotipelto stuff...
