The history of Bloodstock

Bloodstock Open Air 2006

I tried to capture elements of both festivals in this image, also I believe it's good to add splashes of humour within the artwork, cans of larger etc. You may notice other additions, the shield carrying the Wacken crest. Some of the characters within the artwork are actual fans, something I deemed appropriate. 

Often when producing artwork you're not always aware of those elements that sneak in and catch you unawares. 

I don't recall who it was who complimented me on the snake being in the shape of the number two, whilst pointing out how problematic it was going to be to paint 04. Well now's the time to own up, as obvious as it is to me now, it was not a conscious decision. I was, as always concentrating on the design whilst subliminally focusing on the 2. Strange as it sounds that's how it happened.

How metal is that.
