THE STORY OF THE PAINTING
——————————————
I was always proud of the ‘Jailbreak’ cover art but the poster was
even better – it combined the front and back artwork very effectively
and gave added emphasis and meaning to the whole futuristic ‘warlord’
theme that myself and Philip came up with for the album.
Myself and Philip were both very influenced by H.G.Wells ‘War of the
Worlds’ and American Marvel comics; Philip wanted something that
reflected these influences and this artwork was the result. Together we
worked on the imaginary story of ‘The Warrior’ that Philip had in his
mind and I reworked the roughs to reflect this idea until it all held
together. The influence of another great American comic book artist we
both loved, Neal Adams, is all over this one.
I loved the use of silver and we had to fight for it as an extra print
run though the record company were up for it anyway so it got through.
This is my favorite Lizzy poster – I got it right and it works.
