Naturally i have a number of these but never knew who did the artwork so thats interesting. The thing with artwork was in pre digital era (I was there) the cover was so important because as you did your regular rounds at the record stores you had no idea what bands sounded like unless you were following them prior because there was no internet to sample things so the cover would attract you to check out albums.

Around 15 years ago there were a hardrock convention in Malmö, where he showed some of his work. I recall two big oilpaintings, one of King Diamonds' Voodoo and one of Dissections' Storm of ghe Light's bane. Without logos and names, and if i remember correctly he said he started with a painting before turning them into album artworks. If you like the album covers you should have seen the paintings... wow. Love his artwork.

There is a humanistic quality to artwork actually made by people as opposed to AI. The artists leaves an impression of themselves on the canvas. With AI robots we are taking away the one thing that separates us from them- the ability to create something that never existed before with art and music. AI is only pretending to do this by replicating what we have already created. We have created our own demise, but that is nothing new for us humans.
