POP HORROR is a surreal parody fan art series of my favorite pop culture characters turned into nightmare fuel! Since 2011 I’ve been celebrating my love for the darker side of character & creature design concept art by reinventing and having fun with comedic pop horror parodies. I’ve also been lucky enough to show some to the celebrity stars over the years including George R. R. Martin, Ricky Gervais, Elijah Wood, Robert Englund, Millie Bobby Brown, Karl Urban, Karen Fukuhara, Miranda Otto, David Wenham and more! Check below for the full series of my traditional + digital artworks!
My science fiction horror comic series, exploring the inhabitants of a post-apocalyptic future Earth. A mix of survivors, zombies, cyborgs, demons & giant creatures. The first volume follows the story of The Patient; the last survivor who must escape the underground laboratory he wakes in, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Check out EXECUTION: Volume 01: Awakening (2022) for pre-order of the fifth self-published limited edition at the Store. The art book of the world of Execution is also in development on my PATREON and coming soon to crowdfund on Kickstarter, sign up to my newsletter for free updates on new artworks, convention appearances and more!
My Shadows is a collection of digital personal paintings and illustrations of warped shadows, creatures and demons from my imagination. Working in black & white has always been just as important to me as full colour work, as it's a great way to practise and warm up whilst also keeping to the core of a design. The Remastered & Extended Volume 01 (2008-2014) art book is available, with book two in development.
Fundamental drawing and creating sketches in a sketchbook is a crucial part of concept art and the process. The skeleton of the design is most important, and sometimes restricting the medium and sticking to pens and pencils can really help let loose when creating new ideas. Below is a collection of my best sketches and rough work, but there are many more to see in the Gallery as well.
