Tarkus_Legacy

On May 28th, 2016 I attended The Official Keith Emerson Tribute Show in Los Angeles in honor of my hero since the age of 16, who died tragically on March 11 of that year. It was an inspiring concert, and easily one of the best I’ve ever attended. Not only were my photographs mostly those of record, but I later created the art for the DVD/CD release of the event, which is presented here. The guitarist Marc Bonilla, the shows organizer and Keith’s longtime band member asked me to reimagine the iconic art of “Tarkus”, Emerson, Lake & Palmers 1971 groundbreaking album. This offering is done with the blessings and cooperation of the Keith Emerson Estate & Family, along with the good wishes of my dear friend William Neal - the artist who created the original, iconic art for ELP’s Tarkus and Pictures at an Exhibition album covers. 50% of the proceeds will go to Dystonia UK to aid in research for the disease that afflicted Keith Emerson.
