THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND: ORIGINAL PAINTING WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND WHERE IT ALL BEGINS. 1994. Acrylic painting, enamels and inks. 20" x 30".

Ioannis: Early in 1994 through a contact by an acquaintance I got a call by Bert Hollman, manager of the Allman Brothers. They needed a record cover quickly: Their spring tour was starting and their album release was very close; thus began one of the greatest adventures in my life that has lasted over 15 years. I recently was interviewed by Michael Goldstein on how I did the art, which ran in GOLDMINE magazine; you can also read on this website.

I have had a long relationship with the band, especially Butch Trucks, who hired me to do all the art for MOOGIS, his online company. The Cover proved to be quite successful and was reproduced as t-shirts, stickers, stage designs, posters, tattoos, and finally a limited edition print authorized by me and the band. It remains one of the most successful and iconic image in the bands 40-year history.
