Special Guests
Challenging the notions and definitions of art and illustration, Brad Moore is a psychedelic surrealist painter, draftsman, comic book creator, and thinker.
Coming from the world of horror comics, Moore had carved out a unique niche in the universe of Death Metal Art. Using rigorously complex imagery, audacious application of color theory, and subject matter so radically apart from the mainstream, Moore’s art stands outside the accepted world of critique and observation.
Published worldwide over 600 times, Brad Moore has amassed a cult following, and his album cover for Worm's "Foreverglade" was voted #11 out of the the top 30 metal album covers of 2021. No less a legend than H.R. Giger invited Moore to exhibit in his castle in Switzerland. Working in arcane realms of advanced artistry, Brad Moore continues to create for a world-wide audience.
