A few months back, Scott Waters of Ultimatum contacted me asking if I would like to do the artwork for a reissue of The Moshketeers’ “The Downward Spiral”. They’re an old school thrash band from New Mexico that got close to being signed, but never did. I had heard Scott talk about them, but had never really heard the band.
With this piece I wanted to get a bit of the old school thrash vibe to it. So I purposely picked exaggerated cartoon colors and tried to give it an “illustrated” look, compared to my more “realistic” pieces. I’m really happy with the way it turned out.
