Emil

I am 41 years old.I have no artistic education, everything I learn by my own.I prefer to work with oil and watercolors.Sometimes I do paintings for book covers, or CD albums, so if someone want to use my skills-welcome.

More than 10 years ago i did a CD cover painting for label Earache-it was for greek metal band called Elysian fields.In my daily life I am tattoo artist.Also I run small independent label Corvus records, where i did most of the artworks of my releases.I always read lyrics and listen to the music of the bands when I am working on the Cd cover-I would like to catch the atmosphere and the concept, not to use tons of effects, just to do picture which is fitting the best. here you can see Elysian field cover.They were death metal band, but talking with the guys I have noticed how proud they are with their greek ansectors, so I decide to do few drawings based on greek Art in ancient times.

Asfro Zaratustra cover-I did something inspired by Nietzsche's books-snake and eagle are the best frinds of Zaratustra, so it came naturally.Z surrounded by snakes was something like bands trademark.Usually I use just painting and put some simple font.I think the painting speak for itself....I put here few covers of th ereleases of my label.One of them is split CD of Shrine and Lingus fungi-two ambient masters.One of them is from Bulgaria, while th eother is from Finland.I decided to paint two dragons, biting their tails...two different and in the same time similar artists and two dragons, they look like, but they are different.
