This was inspired by their song “Minerva” and the album art for their album “Diamond Eyes”. Minerva was the virgin goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic. She is often depicted with her sacred creature, an owl, which symbolizes her ties to wisdom.

The owl is chewing on a rat that is biting down on a banner that reads "Cuando el cofre se sacude y la aguja se parte vienen con migo rápidamente." The snake is there because I wanted to draw a snake - transforming from a tattoo into the real thing. I probably got the translation wrong. Ugh, I suck!

I hope I get to do more for the band in 2021!
