Coheed & Cambria



As an artist, I listen to music while working. It is essential for my work process and it keeps me going. Coheed and Cambria is one of those bands I listen to religously and that fuel a lot of the inspiration for my work. So needless to say, when I first met Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria, I was pretty nervous. I was also pretty excited to show him some of my work.

A couple months later I get a dream job. A piece of artwork for a band that has given me so much inspiration... the circle is complete.

The concept was a mechanical dragonfly that was to be used as banners on their tour. Not only did they use these on an extensive tour throughout the states, but they also made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and on the official tour shirts.

Claudio is a great guy as well as Blaze and Pete at Blacksheep. I had a blast working on this project, and hopefully I get another chance to work with them in the future.
