Drawn into the spartan stories of honor and passion is also the same spirit that drives the dark, themed artwork for this metal album. I wanted the visuals to draw you into another world and stick with you as you learn more about the band's legacy. Anaka is a Metal band from Brooklyn, New York. I was challenged to visually capture their story of duty, honor, & passion through design as they continue to "create music, destroying countless stages... and continue to build their Anaka army fan base!" There is a track on the album called MURDER OF CROWS which the guys wanted to play a big part in the theme of this cover. The figure emerging represents the UNWAVERING spirit in all of us! Life is all about learning so we can evolve & adapt to it, Therefore, I never consider my artwork finished. Reason why I look forward to seeing my sketches transform into the published work as time evolves. This idea & emotion is what also inspired me to capture the Album artwork & design for Anaka's "unwavering" album concept.
