This promo shot was taken by John Nikolai after I lost my ring finger on April 3rd, 2003. My friend Perry was kind enough to find it in Photoshop. I wish someone could do that for real.

Artwork

The Cover Of "Deep Sky." Usually mistaken for a sunflower. It is a fish-eye lens view of stonehenge You are looking up and an eye is looking back at you from the sky. It's supposed to be the eye of the little girl in the microscope on the back of the CD.

This is the mural I painted in the baby room while Trina was pregnant with Wolfgang. I have included assorted characters from many of my favorite children's stories. This child's room mural is designed to inspire Wolfie to read.

"Featherskull," a scary Photoshop experiment. It was going to be a CD cover, but it's too dark even for me. It looks like some late 80's Metal band artwork!
