SOON SEPTEMBER. 1983-1995. Acrylic painting, enamels and inks. 30x30 inches.

Ioannis: This painting started it all. I originally painted this in 1983 while still in college. It was used by a band called ART IN AMERICA on Epic records. It was my first record cover, the band enjoyed moderate success including a video for MTV which I was in and did some amateur animation for. It was damaged by water in the basement of my house and the back cover I painted was totally ruined. In 1995 I repaired it, however since my painting skills had vastly improved it came out looking a bit different than the original. SAGA used it with some slight digital manipulation in 1997 as a greatest hits package in Europe. To my delight in 1999 it was included by Michael Oachs in his book of the best "1000 Covers" of all time!
