Daniel Martin Diaz is an American artist and musician based in Tucson, Arizona.[1][2]
The band P.O.D. commissioned Diaz to design and paint the cover of their self-titled album Payable on Death. The album went gold in four weeks and caused a controversy across the country due to the cover artwork Diaz created.[3] In 2010, he designed and painted the cover of Good Charlotte's album, Cardiology.
Diaz's influences include an eclectic mix from fantastical Mexican Retablos, mystical votive offerings, the Early Netherlandish painters, Gothic ornamentation, arcane religious sigils and medallions, alchemy, as well as symbolism culled from assorted secret societies such as The Rosicrucians.[4]
Music
Diaz is a primary member of the bands Blind Divine (with singer Paula Catherine Valencia);[5] Crystal Radio (with singer Amelia Poe),[6] Trees Speak [7] and Magick Knives.
