At The Gates 2013 imagery

I am extremely proud to announce the first 2 images that will represent the 2013 tour of the Swedish legends At The Gates. Both of them are handmade illustrations and made with all the possible love, as At the Gates is most probably, the most influential metal band after Metallica over my life.

More soon!

Roadburn Festival report

Finally, back from Roadburn! It was truly amazing experience, even better than last year! “Outside The Great Circle” movie was a success , concerning the feedback I received from people and various artists at the festival, all the band posters I did for Sigh, Ihsahn, Spiritual Beggars, Gravetemple and Hexvessel got sold out, the video screenings I made for Ihsahn, Sigh, Castle and The Psychedelic Warlords were looking ABSOLUTELY KILLER together with their shows and on that big screens. I must confess I was blown away by the result! Especially the collaboration with Ihsahn and Sigh regarding screenings born out some serious show monsters. Really cool to meet so great musicians, artists and people at this festival! Thank you everyone for these incredible moments at Roadburn festival! Thanx so much To Walter Roadburn Wilek Bierens (get well soon bro!) Tijs Keijsers for their closest attention and friendship, SPECIAL hanx to Liu, Gonzo, Titi for helping me with the heaviest thing that made everything happening! SO THANK YOU EVERYONE, I had an incredible 10 years celebration of TWILIGHT13MEDIA, and having also my girlfriend near me, transformed ROADBURN 2013 for me into something perfect! See you soon! Cheers!

Now, here are some moments from the festival I want to share:
