About

Nikki Blakk sits down with the Squindo - the artist behind some of Metallica’s most iconic concert posters for a deep dive into his world of creativity, chaos, and heavy metal.

From his first encounter with the band to working directly with James Hetfield, this interview is packed with wild tour memories, fan moments, and the evolution of his long-running artistic relationship with Metallica. He talks about designing for the 72 Seasons tour, hanging out backstage with Slayer, why every poster tells its own story—and the truth about getting notes from Lars.

Plus, get a sneak preview of his upcoming SF gallery show 104 Seasons of Metallica at Manny’s in the Mission.
