Not necessarily anything to do with music, but metal anyway, so I thought to post this here: http://derek.server311.com/ - 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... ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

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. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

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. ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow"> <- Click on this!

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

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!
