Betcha their comfortable. :Smug: When you get older, these things become important.
And Glen Drover was also the guitarist on King Diamond's House OF God cd. Awesome guitarist.

Makes sense that he chose the Eidolon guys, especially since they're 'Deth fanboys. Ever heard an Eidolon album? Heh.
But yeah, this feels more like the "Dave Mustaine Project". Throw Zod in the mix and they suddenly become Alan Parsons...

Yep, he did the arwork for their "Supernatural Addiction" and "Behind the Mourner's Veil" albums. King Fowley met my Dad at a Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Horror Convention and he was so impressed, he asked my Dad on the spot if he would do the cover art for his next album. I've been trying to get my Dad to create album covers exclusively in the metal scene for years now, but he keeps saying he doesn't have the time due to all of his other artwork assignments and commitments. I keep trying to tell him there's tons of money to be had in the metal cover art genre for someone as talented as he is, but I can never get through to him (I don't think he belives me). Here's his website, check it out (it's only a small sample of everything he's done)

Thanks everyone, I'll definitely pass the compliments on to my Dad. I really wish he could get his "big break" - he's so unbelievably talented, but he's like the shyest guy in the world. He was voted best small press fantasy artist in America about 10 years in a row. He also came in 2nd place at the L. Ron Hubbard's Worldwide Illustrators of the Future contest in Washington D.C. a few years back. He lost out to some Russian guy and everyone at the convention thought he was robbed - that it must've been some kind of goodwill gesture towards Russia or something. He was also the artist guest of honor last year at the World Fantasy Convention.

So what you're saying is that your dad is a fantasy geek?
Yeah, he deserves success. I wonder how much money there is in illustrating metal album covers...? (Or at least he would earn some notoriety at least....I mean, just look at Travis Smith. Ugh, talk about overrated, but he even gets mentioned in press releases for promos as if having "Travis Smith" do the artwork somehow adds to the music.)

I dunno - but I bet through word of mouth you could make some serious cash - maybe not Derek Riggs type money, but definitely enough to live comfortably. (side note, Riggs has nothing on my Dad talentwise, it's so frustrating).

Holy Crap - I'm so out of the loop I didn't even realize he has his own discussion forum now! :

LOL - I've had the UM server timeout on me on 3 separate occasions already today.
My Dad has never even made a post yet on the forums - I'll definitely have to teach him how as he is absolutely not computer literate.
I'd like to go on the record as saying, had I been involved with the writing of "The System has Failed", it would have been a much better CD.JayKeeley said:But yeah, this feels more like the "Dave Mustaine Project". Throw Zod in the mix and they suddenly become Alan Parsons...

Riggs has nothing on my 3 year old either. I have to put his demise down to a stroke or nervous breakdown or something. From "Powerslave" to "Powerplant"...sheesh.
