Every now and again the universe introduces you to people. People who become part of your soul tribe, and I can honestly say this genius behind the scenes belongs in mine. I’ve been lucky enough to know Michael Cowell for too long, but I can’t gate-keep this brilliant mind.

Michael is a commercial artist specialising in the world of music. You may not know it, but you’ve probably already experienced some of his artwork. His limited edition hand printed gig posters have graced walls around the world for acts as diverse as The National, Kyuss, High on Fire, The Dandy Warhols and Queens of the Stone Age. He also gets his hands dirty illustrating and designing music packaging for a selection of other artists, including a wonderful band called Spectral. (Thanks Mike)

Of course, that isn’t enough. His skills in ink, paint, print and digital media has led him to participate and co-curate more than fifty exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States. The dude is even in a tome of a coffee-table book on the history of art and music.
