About me:
Michael Cowell is an Illustrator/Artist based in Nottingham, England and works in paint, print, photography and digital.

Drawing inspiration from the more 'left of centre' genres of music, film, art and literature he hopes to one day impose his own unique interpretations on each one of these mediums.

Hopefully, one day this will all make sense...

What a miserable bugger indeed. Don't think i'd say that to his face mind...

All the posters sold out in the end, so i'm hoping for a bit of online selling action!

Thanks for the accomodation offer, my parents live in a little village about 12 miles from Nottingham, so I think i'll go home for the motherly pampering.

yeah i read his blog and it was amazing to see that they think they can get away with it. When it is actually illegal to use a copyrighted image.

its actually a cover by cameron goss (SP?)
http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=N4aebXJ-N9A

I found him on youtube - the thing is i always loved the lyrics but hated how boa sang it for the lain opening.
He is wonderful!

Sep 16 2008 8:21 PM

yeah it really does - the fact that they pretend to not know where the image is from is the worst - i really like the band but it's like...admit your wrong and you stole his work already!

Hilo!!

I am lame, I still haven't sent you the Time Out. Will do so next week, I am hoping.

Also writing to say I am going the other direction for travels - to San Fran and Alaska. Alaska's been a dream of mine FOREVER and I am so beyond excited! Europe next year! :)

Hope all is well with you - that Danse Macabre poster is spectacularly pretty - in a very Gothy way!
