| Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - Artist Eddie Mize reveals all to Metal Poet | Eddie Mize, a prolific graphic artist and guest contributor to the Metal Poet website, has spoken to Michael Terrax about his influences and the work he has created for Steve Gaines' Anger As Art.
Eddie Mize told Metal Poet that he and Steve Gaines "share a real kinship", which elevates the artwork he creates for them. "When you believe in and appreciate a band this much it is easy to create art for them and to visually express the spirit and themes they are about.", Eddie said.
In a frank and sometimes revealing discussion, Eddie revealed the battles he has with bipolar disorder, and how his personal life experience has resulted in the unique style he is now known for. For Eddie, his art has been "an attempt to express the feeling of hell that the depression cycles can bring or to at least communicate it in ways that words cannot."
Eddie Mize has contributed designs for the Metal Poet home page, an image for the "A Life So Cold" album, and is currently working on a new piece specifically for Metal Poet's next album, due out in March. More of Eddie's work can be seen on www.cirquesolutions.com/art.
