 I am a traditional artist that found my way to the world of dark art to create
gorgeously disturbed artwork in diverse media, from digital visuals, to
book covers and illustrations, to three-dimensional sculpture. Though
new to the Los Angeles art scene, my images of fallen angels, aspiring
demons, and barely human outsiders have caught the attention of horror
connoisseurs and fellow artists such as Clive Barker (Abarat) and Del Howison (Dark Delicacies: Haunted). This new world revealed an un-traveled path in my creativity. A
path that has taken me deeper within myself and ultimately has become a
journey of self-discovery. My horror art is apart of my blood, my
soul, and me. I am a self-taught artist. I experimented and dabbled
until I refined my dark expression of my angelic and demonic art. These
are images that have plagued my dreams for years and now have found
freedom to haunt me no longer. I create out of
necessity and now I want to share just a shadow of my spirit. |

BIG NEWS: "After Death…" Edited by: Eric J. Guignard Publisher: Dark Moon Books http://www.darkmoonbooks.com/ Well, the 35 illustrations for this book are finally finished! The book is due out April, 2013 Publishers Weekly has released an early review: "...Though the majority of the pieces come from the darker side of the genre, a solid minority are playful, clever, or full of wonder. This makes for good variety but a bit of emotional whiplash, somewhat mitigated by Guignard’s clever introductions and Audra Phillips’s portraitlike illustrations. This strong and well-themed anthology is sure to make readers contemplative even while it creates nightmares. (May)" Please go to the link to read the whole review, but I had to share. The artist hardly gets mentioned in a review so it's a pretty special day. Here's a few teaser images:  "Hellevator" Story by Josh StrnadIllustration Copyright Audra Phillips ©2012  "High Places"

Richard Matheson (born February 20, 1926) is an American author and screenwriter, primarily in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres. He is perhaps best known as the author of What Dreams May Come, Bid Time Return, A Stir of Echoes, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and I Am Legend, all of which have been adapted as major motion pictures. Matheson has also written for several The Twilight Zone television show episodes such as "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", and adapted his 1971 short story Duel into a screenplay later that year for the Steven Spielberg directed television movie of the same name. - Wikipedia  Here it is! Mutation Nation! My first book cover!Publish date December 17, 2011. We Are the Mutation Nation! The scariest monsters may not be the supernatural creatures we've been taught to fear. We can run from the marauding zombie, refuse to invite a hungry vampire, or turn on the light to banish the ghost in the dark. But there is one thing we cannot escape: our own DNA. When the very stuff we're made of starts to change, we question what it is to be human. The answer may lead us to a country known as Mutation Nation. The citizens of Mutation Nation are gathered here in eleven all-original stories from the inventive minds of New York Times bestselling author Stephen Woodworth (Through Violet Eyes), actress/writer Barbie Wilde (Hellraiser II, Hellbound Hearts), Pushcart-nominated writer Jarret Keene (A Boy's Guide to Arson), and other masters of the misfit who are sure to convince you that the most bizarre creatures in existence are ourselves. Let the maladaptive mayhem begin. Meet the inhabitants of Mutation Nation. You can get it at Amazon and just about every other book seller. Click on the image to purchase at Amazon.
