Frank Candiloro is an animator/comic artist currently living in Melbourne, Australia. For all the la Lindsay, pinup featured in book.

"Whenever I think about Candiloro's work all I want to do is invent elaborate descriptions for his art-style. His work has a monolithic quality, like a corroded Incan mosaic, which is both unique and very captivating." - Emmet O'Cuana - The Momus Report. ""Frank Candiloro has worked hard at developing an artistic style that is distinctly his own. I can almost guarantee that you will never have pic

ked up another comic with Candiloro's touch, the aesthetics are unique and for those who like their artwork dark and foreboding, hypnotic." - Jeff Ritchie, Scaryminds.com

"Wow. At the tender age of 27, Australian artist Frank Candiloro has a vision of what comic books are as well as what they can be, and, in his very distinct manner, he is slowly exploring these ideas." - Daniel Elkin, ComicsBulletin.com

So yeah, I was going to try to finish this comic before doing this but end of the day decided not to prolong it: I’ve quit making comics, so sadly From Coburg to Copenhagen will not be going ahead. You all know why I’m quitting so will spare you all the details. Some people might be disappointed that I’m no longer going to be making comics but it’s for the best. To be honest most of it comes from me not being interested in the medium at all atm, so I think it’s time to stop. I’ll still be drawing in general though. Thanks to everyone who supported me in my comics journey.

It’s been a few months since I drew a classic metal cover so thought I’d draw another one! This is the 1981 album “Killers” by Iron Maiden, one of two Maiden albums featuring Paul Di’Anno on vocals before being replaced by Bruce Dickinson the following year. The colours are lighter than the original because it suited my style a bit better.
