Steve - EP Brutal Truth, shirt Exit 13, Last Days Of Humanity [several shirts/covers], SMES, lots of gore tattoos, Krisuin tourposter and believe it or not, but I did the fuckin old skool Mayhem logo, hahaha! Really, I wrote with Euronymous back then [still got his letters to prove it] and I always drew on the envelope. That's why he asked me once to do a logo and I did that logo with a drawing underneath it, and they used the logo. Only mine was a bit more stretched, but it was exactly the same idea and now it says 'Logo by Mika' or something! Don't believe that, I did it as a fucking teenager in 1987 or something! Did tons of art for small bands and locals of course. Erwin [pigvocal of SMES and Last Days Of Humanity] and me know each other since 1975 and we often wrote Euronymous together, in fact Erwin started the correspondence as I remember well.
