  • NEW PRINT: HERE BE DRAGONS - ALBUM ARTWORK FOR TOBIAS SAMMET'S AVANTASIA!

>> www.rodneymatthewsstudios.com/products/avantasia-here-be-dragons

Sorry for our silence of late - we've been working on lots of exciting new stuff that we will share with you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here is the latest print to hit the store:

My second album cover design for Tobias Sammet's Avantasia -@tobiassammetofficial @avantasiaofficial.

The dragon was requested by Tobi. I know he favours blues for his album covers but I took a chance and went for a fiery red dragon against the stark background - it worked, Tobi liked it! The dragon's pose is purposefully heraldic. 

The general theme touches on Arthurian legend, recalling in my mind the Isle of Avalon. Hence, my inclusion of Glastonbury Tor with the distant Camelot. I once lived in the area and often climbed the Tor - mercifully the dragon was elsewhere at the time!

Rock and Metal Flagship AVANTASIA Announces 10th Studio Album, Here Be Dragons, out February 28, 2025 via Napalm Records! 🐲 ⚫ Pre-Order Your Physical Copy now! ⚫ Album Arrives Shortly Before the “Here Be Dragons” European Arena Headline Tour in March & April 2025! Leading rock and metal force AVANTASIA is set to unleash their bombastic 10th studio album and Napalm Records debut, Here Be Dragons, on February 28, 2025! Featuring absolute AVANTASIA essentials such as spellbinding choirs and theatrical symphonic metal elements, multitalented mastermind and frontman Tobias Sammet also surprises fans old and new with plenty of intriguing fresh soundscapes. Here Be Dragons gives the celebrated AVANTASIA sound that has been carefully crafted over a quarter of a century an exciting and powerful spin. The new album is the most consistent and concise piece of art that the band has ever crafted. Tobias Sammet comments: “This new album carries the most adventurous and bold spirit my music has had in decades. And it’s rather reckless, fearless, powerful, and uplifting and not introverted at all. While my previous albums allowed me to get a lot off my chest, this time I dove headfirst into the creative flood, crafting ten discrete, musical pictures, that miraculously merged into what I believe is the tightest chapter in AVANTASIA’s history. I did everything exactly how I wanted it, approaching the album with unrelenting determination and a carefree attitude, that was reminiscent of my early days way before the Metal Opera thing, when I felt unstoppable and let instinct just write songs. Right now I’m bursting with energy and can’t wait to unleash Here Be Dragons and then kick off the big tour with our new stage. We’ll present the new material alongside our classics and some rarities in the most spectacular stage show AVANTASIA has ever delivered. An early Merry Christmas, everyone!” Cover Artwork by Rodney Matthews

  • 50 years of Dungeons and Dragons art was celebrated recently @luccacomicsandgames 2024, with an exhibition held in the prestigious setting of Chiesa dei Servi, Lucca, Italy. On display were works from the @kodercollection, the world's largest collection of artworks related to D&D and fantasy games. I was delighted to hear that among those pieces, Matthew Koder showed my original 'Elric and Moonglum' artwork, which appeared on the cover of the first issue of Imagine magazine.
