We're looking for drawings or paintings. We want to see where your TWISTED imaginations will take you and we will be judging on effort, not skill level. So like I said, this is something for EVERYONE! Let's see what you zeds got!

Robert Elrod has graced our Wicked pages for a while now with his art work. He is a graphic designer focusing in Science Fiction/Horror/Fantasy and comic book art. Robert has his own comic out, Tickling A Dead Man: Stories About George, which is self published and in which he relentlessly tortures his misanthropic title character by forcing him to face his deepest fears and anxieties.

His newest published work is titled, Obsolete and is a 32 page, full color art magazine. Available here: http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=5213

He has contributed pinup art to publications such as Bluewater Comics, Creator's Edge Press, Angry Dog Press and the British Fantasy Society. His artwork has appeared on the covers of several novels and anthologies from various small press horror publishers.




Robert's work is done in several mediums: pencil, watercolor, digital work, color pencil and acrylic. His style is unique, you will often see a colorful zombie or a vivid rendition of your favorite science fiction or Horror characters. My personal favorite is his digitally colored version of one of James Cameron's aliens. (Which you can buy on ETSY now! http://www.etsy.com/listing/74350960/surprise-bitches-alien-illustr...)

Monster Portraits: Robert will take your photo and turn you into a monster or zombie, like the prize of our contest. This is something he does typically for $65, including shipping. You can view his website for more details.


He has shared some really neat things in our Wicked Artists and Crafters group, including these awesome painted canvas shoes. Who wouldn't want to rock 'em?
