From Supply and Demand, pg. 300:
Interpol is one of my favorite bands to come out in the last few years, and I approached Paul Banks, the singer, after a show a few years ago and told him I was a big fan and offered to do some artwork for them. We became friends, and eventually he called me and said that Interpol was releasing a new record, and to promote the release they didn’t just want to throw a party, they wanted to have art spaces, and they wanted me to create artwork and curate the spaces. I shot some photos of the band and borrowed some photos from them, then re-illustrated all of it and made mixed-media pieces that combined my drawings with the original photos, and finally deconstructed everything by showing the photos and the process along with the new pieces.
