Description Year: 2003
School piece
Topic: Draw a CD/LP cover for a real/imaginary band of your choice.
Size: ~30x30 cm
Media:
- cliff, tree, forest: watercoulors (where the branches get too tiny, I used fineliner, which unfortunatly gave them a different tone of black)

- Metallica-Logo: pencil
- "TO LIVE IS TO DIE": printed and glued

Source of inspiration: Metallica's songtitle "To Live Is To Die" from the album "...And Justice For All"

In the End I wasn't that happy with this picture, so I gave it to a friend of mine as a birthday present (she really liked it)

When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation take me home?

I agree. Metallica owns the 80s, 90s, and today. And this song(I'm listening to it right now) still has the power to make me cry on the 4:50 mark.

R.I.P. Cliff. You are greatly missed in this world.

Im curious... I need to ask you if you may let me do the same drawing, but at my style. I really liked the concept and I would really like to try my version of it. Of course Im gonna give you full credit for the idea, your icon and a link to this deviation will be included too. I hope you let me, thanks

First thanks a lot for the fav and your nice comment.Of course you can do a drawing with the same concept, and as you said credit would be nice

In fact I'm really curious of how it will look, since I myself like the idea, but not the picture I created out of it. I often thought of doing it again myself, but it seems that I'm too lazy... XD

So, my best wishes for your work.
