060606-The Beast- shunned!
Well, Slayer's new cover arrived from the US at veryveryvery last minute in Warner's German office, resulting in the dragon being disqualified from appearing in the ad and my fee being cancelled. Thanks to Katja, the freelancer who put the Beast in the ad in the first place, I can claim half of it anyway, for data handling and general to-ing and fro-ing. Oh well. We are sure Slayer and all their representatives, particularly their German PR-Department, will eternally fry in hell for shunning the Beast ;o)
Update: Here's the pic...
I quite like it, more topical, not as colourful. I think Mother Theresa drowning in blood is quite well done, talking from a completely abstract artistic point of view, of course. Interesting though that they call it Jihad, yet refrain from actually showing any islamic imagery. Well, who can blame them. Catholics are less dangerous at the moment.

060606-The Beast sells out
Lacking the actual cover illustration for Heavy Metal outfit Slayer's latest effort, the German publishers searched the interweb for suitable visual material to spice up their ad, and came across this...
Yes, it's the Beast of the Apocalypse, lovingly drawn and photoshopped by yours truly. Mind you, this isn't Slayer's new album cover, just a one off advert for German Heavy Metal mag Metal Heart, so the fee was a trifle on the modest side. But, as we say in Germany, in times of need, the devil will feast on flies.
