Stephan Doitschinoff

When you’ve got Sepultura calling you on the phone to do your record cover, you could count that as a pretty good sign to keep on truckin’. It took a couple of years, but after designing the band’s Dante XXI album, Brazilian painter/illustrator Stephan Doitschinoff, aka CALMA, has finally landed his first solo show in the States. It’s been a long time coming for this talented artist, who’s broadened his project scope beyond metal bands and recently did a kid’s book about gypsies. The Fim do Mundo show at Anno Domini gallery in downtown San Jose features his most recent work — always incorporating religious iconography — and a special on-site installation. It runs till June 21.
