I caught up with Mark at his local pub for a pint and a chat to get an insight into how he came to be the creator of the artwork for 'The Book Of Souls'. A really nice bloke and supremely talented to boot!

The glory of Senjutsu begins with its remarkably detailed cover - a vision of Eddie like nothing we've seen before, courtesy of artist par excellence Mark Wilkinson. Here's how he and Steve created an Eddie unlike any other.

Steve Harris has played football for both. Well okay. The latter was a charity game but he did get to wear the famous national strip and grace the hallowed Wembley turf! Now that the European championships have kicked off in Sweden, at least half of Kerrang!, 'Arry himself, Stefan Chiraz and lot more metaller than you'd probably guess will be going football crazy and hoping that the national boys are on song...

It’s always a pleasure to talk you Mr Smith, here’s the funny thing too, as we just jump right into this, you’re actually in Winnipeg right now which is coincidence of all coincidences.

Well I’ll be there in about 5 hours Chris….I’m still in….

CJ ( Interrupting) Oh but you’re playing there tonight?

Bruce Dickinson was one of the few from Iron Maiden to grant a small number of interviews during the tour.....

.....When I first saw you and I learned about you was when you added Maiden Bulgaria on My Space and the only thing that I was able to say was WOOOOOW. You have quite huge collection of Maiden things. Please give us a small description of what exactly are you collecting?

-I really collect all different items I can find with Iron Maiden but I really like stuff that I can display in the Bar collection ,its nice to have stuff to look at and not just another record from a new country. -So I really like promotion stuff and stage used stuff and items that just look?s cool

Steve, you've called the video "12 Wasted Years", does it seem like twelve years since it began?

Steve Harris: It doesn't feel like twelve wasted years, but yeah, when I think back to how it was at the start I suppose it does seem like a long time ago. It doesn't feel like twelve years until you actually start thinking about it..

This Summer when we attended the Athens gig parto of the Somеwhere Back In Time Tour we met a lot of fans which were stunned by the fact that we traveled 1000 km just to see Maiden Live. Few weeks after that I found a person in the Internet who went on a journey that we only can dream of. I decided to found a special section in our site where we will introduce you interesting people and their stories connected with Iron Maiden. I'm really happy that Rafael Kaplunovsky - Rafi is the founder of this section and I am grateful that he agreed to answer some questions that I ve asked him about his amazing tour..
