Description
20/2/09 - The back stage of Iron Maiden concert at Mt. Smart Stadium, Auckland, was the place where I said goodbye to all 6 of my drawings of Iron Maiden band members.It wasn't easy, these drawings meant a lot to me personally. I drew them when I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see them live, that they might never come back to OZ and I'd never be able to afford the trip to see them overseas. I drew them as a testimony to my worshipment to the band, as a salvation to my unfulfilled fandom, as a final exam to justify myself as an artist.
These were the drawings that I once thought didn't mean for sell. However, now my most beloved drawings are no longer belong to me nor do they end up in the hand of any human beings...
I've sold them to the metal Gods themselves.
*This happened before the guys hit the stage so I didn't have a chance to meet Steve because we ran out of time.

Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills:
White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Killed our tribes killed our creed
Took our game for his own need
We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack
Run to the hills run for your lives
Run to the hills run for your lives
Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills run for your lives
(repeat to end)

Deal!
Omg... I wish I didn't go to Croatia last summer... When I was there Iron Maiden had a competition where the winner would get to fly with Ed Force One from London to Trondheim, and back to London after the gig, and ofc I came home just to late to enter the competition... But well, I got to see them live anyways

jeez that is so impressive, you must have been stocked, what did they say about your work?
How did the meeting come about?

I met the band manager last year and he saw the prints of my drawings. He gave me his email to contact him back so I did and it went from there.
They were very kind to me with the feedback. I was surprised that they could be that impressed considering they've been aroundfor so long and must have seen so many better artworks!

awesome, to be totally honest, no artwork in the world could be any better, you nailed it!!!
