You know what I hate? Those who create horror art simply for the gore factor.  After spending some time at Chad Michael Ward’s Digital Apocalypse, I can see both how he might be interpreted as that and also how that would be an incorrect labeling of one fascinating artist.

First stumbling across this artist via MySpace, I was immediately intrigued by his work.  What a fabulous mind!  I am sure that there will be those who sift quickly through the thumbnails of his work and then quickly dismiss it as pointless gore, but the ones who do that miss out on the details and professional approach involved in Chad’s work, which shows that he is a master of his craft.  From portraits, to book & DVD covers, he doesn’t miss a beat and has created an impressive portfolio along the way.
Short review today, dub?  Surely so.  Only good things to say this time through the spanking machine.
