A Message To My Fellow Tool Fans
It's been a great experience communicating with people who enjoy my work. I feel greatly privileged each time I have the opportunity to share a few messages with a stranger who felt the need to get in touch with me. Some of the best of these strangers have been Tool fans.
Until I created a magazine cover for the band, I hadn't been in contact with other Tool fans other than my friends. I've been a devoted fan of Tool for over a decade, but I didn't have a grasp of how special their fanbase really is until the past year or two. I've never met another group of fans who were so open minded, intelligent, friendly and passionate.
It excites me to see how Tool has positively affected others like myself. They have given us the tools to view our existence in a different perspective. The opportunity to view things through a new light and the challenge to elevate our state of mind and explore the unknown.
Tool introduced me to the concept of the third eye - one of the most pivotal concepts I've ever learned. I've been prying it open as much as possible ever since. They've been the energy moving my creative spirit over and over again. They invoke visions and ideas like few others have ever done for me.
My favorite Tool songs often cause synasthaesia. The movement and soundscapes invoke inner visions that are hard to describe, and even harder to recreate. I've often dwelled on the idea of making an image for each song on a Tool album, creating a visual album that tries to depict my feelings and the lyrical message for each song. Hopefully someday I will have the ambition to go through with such a project, as I would love to see how closely they relate to the ideas other fans have swirling in their minds.
Thanks to all of you for your support and ongoing communication. All of you have helped drive my ambition and inspiration to follow my will and wind. Spiral Out!
