The New Generations Master of Hand-Painted Horror: Simon Pritchard Unleashes His Artistic Fury!
"A True Original: Simon Pritchard's Unique Blend of Nostalgia and Modern Flair"
It is our great pleasure to introduce Simon Pritchard, a talented and dedicated artist who has been a driving force behind the creative vision of Space Monsters Magazine. Born in England in 1968, Simon's passion for comic books, horror, and science fiction was ignited during the 1970s and 1980s, and has remained a constant source of inspiration throughout his life.
As a true aficionado of the genre, Simon's artistic style is deeply rooted in his love for the classics. His hand-painted poster art has been sought after by indie horror filmmakers, and his work has graced the covers of numerous horror and science fiction publications. In addition to his poster art, Simon is also a skilled comic book artist, and has been a regular contributor to Commando Comics, the longest-running British action war comic since 1961.
Simon's commitment to his craft is evident in his dedication to traditional techniques, eschewing digital art in favor of the time-honored methods of hand-painted art. His unique style, which blends nostalgia with modern flair, has earned him a reputation as one of the most sought-after artists in the genre.
But Simon's talents don't stop at art. He is also a writer, contributing to various horror and science fiction publications, and has even ventured into acting, appearing in independent films from time to time. His love for music is another key aspect of his creative persona, and he has even showcased his art in exhibitions in Liverpool and Memphis, Tennessee, celebrating his shared passions for Elvis and 1950s and 1960s rock 'n' roll music.
Simon's website, www.artbeat64.com, is a treasure trove of his artistic endeavors, and we encourage you to explore his work in greater detail. And if you're looking for a unique piece of art to call your own, Simon is available for art commissions - contact him directly to discuss your project!
On a separate note: When I discovered Simon's work, it immediately reminded me of my friend, the late, great Basil Gogos and I was rather excited to welcome him aboard. I see Simon as the new wave of Basil Gogos and the other great horror and sci-fi artists. Basil would be proud, to be sure, and we are happy to have him onboard.
