Back in fall, i painted a portrait of Claudio (because ive been a huge fan of the band since forever) and i really wanted him to see it, but had no way of contacting him....
Fast forward 5 months later, I come to find out Chondra, his wife, twittered about stumbling on it and we got to talking. Next thing i knew, Im at the Tabernacle with Chondra walking me backstage to hang out with Claudio with a print of the portrait in-hand to give to him. We chatted about art/work after the show, so look for some Sam Wolfe Connelly/Coheed art sometime soon down the road :]
Im still running on a high from it all. It's been so uncanny.
and on top of all that, the show was awesome. Thank you two for being so gracious and incredible about all this.
Woah dude, cool!
ReplyDeleteCoheed's new album is absolutely nothing short of truly increble. Listen to it http://www.coheedandcambria.com/yotbr/widget
ReplyDeleteHey, Sam. I'm so glad you got to meet them. I actually stumbled upon your site and forwarded the illustration to Chonny, knowing well how much they were going to love what you did. I do hope you get to work with them in the future!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck, and keep up the excellent work.
