The request, unexpectedly, came that soon after for Tim to create a painting for the cover of their highly anticipated sophomore album Smoke + Mirrors. Not only did Dan find Tim's art beautiful and profound, but it had a ghostly emotive quality that mirrored the sentiments found within his own lyrics. Those visitors, as fate would have it, were the parents of Dan Reynolds.Īs Imagine Dragons returned home from their Night Visions world tour, that paginated folio of Tim's work made its way into the fervent hands and eyes of Dan, who instantly connected with the emotional charge of the paintings contained within. They left the gallery enchanted by the art, haunted by the endearing stories behind the images, and bearing a book of Tim Cantor's art to share with their son. On a rainy Spring night, two visitors unexpectedly graced his gallery and found themselves intensely drawn to the collection of paintings that adorned the walls. Not too far away, Tim Cantor was awake every night, tediously channeling his own isolated thoughts into painstaking works of art. As the succeeding album, titled Smoke + Mirrors, became a reality, lead singer Dan Reynolds sought out distinct imagery that could befittingly symbolize the profound emotional realm invoked by Imagine Dragons' new music. Their debut album, Night Visions, was certified multi-platinum and proved to be one of the most successful records of all time. In the fall of 2014, Grammy Award winning band Imagine Dragons entrusted Tim Cantor to interpret their music into visual works of art. Like a painting, a song too can speak to us
