The
artist known simply
as Brom has a brilliant
style that falls between
the impressionism
of Frazetta and the
pop classicism of
Boris. His palette
is perfectly balanced
between the dark and
muted and the lushly
colorful.
Brom's imagination
wanders from the sexually
seductive to the fascinatingly
bizarre, often uniquely
mixing the two.
Darkwerks gathered
a wealth of images
from his days as a
painter of illustrations
for trading cards,
games and book covers.
The Plucker, his new
book, is a masterpiece
of macabre storytelling.
The Plucker was inspired
by Brom's childhood
memories of imagined
terrors that lived
in the family's dank
cellar. In this, his
first novel, a child's
toys come terrifyingly
to life and takes
sides in a fight to
claim or to save the
boy's soul.
A modern masterpiece
of creepy horror and
inspired art.
