The Legacy of Dimebag Darrell

Here is a recent cover I illustrated for the Dallas Observer featuring the late Pantera/Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott–who was gunned down during a concert 12 years ago. The cover story tells how a motorcycle charity in his honor had been run into the ground amidst allegations of mismanagement and fraud, and how his surviving female partner has stepped in to “clean up the mess” and rebuild its integrity. Terrific art direction by Tom Carlson! See some close up details below…
