DESCRIPTION
"My second album cover design for Tobias Sammet's Avantasia.
"The dragon was requested by Tobi. I know he favours blues for his album covers but I took a chance and went for a fiery red dragon against the stark background - it worked, Tobi liked it! The dragon's pose is purposefully heraldic.
"The general theme touches on Arthurian legend, recalling in my mind the Isle of Avalon. Hence, my inclusion of Glastonbury Tor with the distant Camelot. I once lived in the area and often climbed the Tor - mercifully the dragon was elsewhere at the time!"
- Rodney Matthews, 2025

Having loved Rodney's work for some time, looking at the new Avantasia album in my hands I knew I had to get the art. And it did not disappoint.
Excellent printing as well.
This is an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS picture from the Rodgers Matthews Studios stables. Worth every penny to be able to hang on the wall. It's not just another print, it's spectacular. If you haven't got one, get one while you still can.
The artwork is recognizable from the past with the colors and the imprisoned powerful view ! The Chief has resurrected to bless and save his humble crowd in the misty twilight with overview and admiration from the Dragon overlord himself !
