Deloused in the Comatorium from the intrepid musical explorers The Mars Volta, renegades from At The Drive In, contained a set of songs about their close friend, artistic mentor and wild man Julio, who as a result of numerous misadventures and over indulgences, spent much time in hospital, slipping in and out of a coma. This accounts for the hospital setting for our design. In his unconscious state The Mars Volta imagined that their friend was being pulled down by his artistic demons or imaginary figures called Tremulants, from whose clutches he was continually trying to escape - when successful he surfaced briefly into consciousness . The light from his mouth is the cry for help, a shaft of daylight piercing his twilight gloom. His head is bobbing (or rolling) in and out of consciousness, and was therefore represented by an egg-shaped sculpture of bronze which could literally roll backwards and forwards, and was clean edged and very ‘deloused’, but with a real skin face...scary huh? <<

Edition 20/20

20/20 is a series of prints which are more obscure and more personal, not necessarily frontline images but ones which are highly valued by Storm Thorgerson. The series compromises 20 different images for a variety of bands including Pink Floyd, The Cranberries, The Mars Volta, Ethnix, Catherine Wheel, Phish, and Muse amongst others. The edition size is limited to only 20 of each image, hence
20/20.

Each print is signed, numbered and embossed with a custom designed 20/20 symbol. Each print purchased will come with descriptive notes and technical details.

NB Collectors purchasing 5 or more images at the same time will also receive a specially made limited edition 20/20 box. <<
