After I painted the Alter Bridge album cover artwork onto this leather jacket for owner Andi Robinson, he wore it to see them live in Wolverhamton. After a lot of good feedback from other people in the crowd it was spotted by the guitarist's brother and Andi was invited back stage to meet the band. Excellent result and I was chuffed that he got such a good response from it.
There's a photo from when Andi met the band lower down this page - Andi is second from the left. All the band members signed the jacket for him.
He also got himself a go on Mark Tremonti's guitar plus a shout out during the gig in front of 6000 people!!
It's great to hear about this sort of response from the work I put out. I can't promise backstage meetings with your favourite artists every time but they do seem to be very effective icebreakers and certainly get you noticed...
