Derek Riggs, 'Iron Maiden - Live After Death', 1985

Live albums aren't really my thing so I rarely listened to this album. I dig the cover though. It's one of my favorite covers from Maiden.

One of the big ones today. Started by bass player, Steve Harris back in 1975, Iron Maiden should be familiar to even people who aren't metalheads. With hits such as 'Number Of The Beast', 'Powerslave' and 'Two Minutes To Midnight', the band are still going strong today. 

The Derek Riggs mentioned here is the original artist who came up with the band's mascot, Eddie The Head. Seen here as part of my recreation of their second album cover, Killers. He also provided covers for their other albums, including Number Of The Beast, Somewhere In Time, and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. 

Quite pleased with this one! Yes, it's my interpretation of something that already exists but I still like how it turned out. The pose is slightly off and some of the background isn't 1 to 1 accurate, but it's alright. Also nice to see what I can do with some dying pens...

Iron Maiden - Alternate Universe Single Art

Iron Maiden have a lot of awesome cover art. But what if they released different songs as singles over the past 40 years? Perhaps these nine alternate single cover art designs will answer that question. You'll have to imagine them Derek Riggs-ified though.

Phantom of the Opera

I can just imagine a hatchet-job single edit that removes the bluesy solo midsection.

Killers

Technically "Wrathchild" was already a double A-side.

Gangland

With "Invaders" firmly on the b-side.

Die With Your Boots On

Yeah it's about Nostradamus, but who doesn't want to see Western Eddie?

Powerslave

Credit to my friend Mike Lebrain for the inspiration behind this design.

Mother Russia

Awesome song, despite the outdated lyrical content.

These Colours Don't Run

I could imagine the band putting this song out as a statement.

The Talisman

A long one yes, but they put "Empire of the Clouds" out as a single too so it's fine.

Days of Future Past

Probably the most obvious pick on here.
