BLACK RUST: the Dark World of Chad Michael Ward

Chad Michael Ward virtually defines the realm of digital art as seen through a dark prism.

Combining shock value and artistic subtlety, he transforms his models into otherworldly beings that transcend time and place.

BLACK RUST, his masterwork of photo-surrealistic images and dark prose establishes him as the neuromancer of cyber eroticism, whose bio-robotic progeny inspire a heretofore unimaginable kind of lust.

A sample of the dark prose that heightens the visceral experience of BLACK RUST:

"Fire fell from the sky, eating alive anyone caught in its burning kiss...

We found ourselves reborn into metal and flesh, black rust pumping through our veins like hellfire. Gears turned and spun under the shifting weight of my body awakening...

I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound escaped the steel lips of my new face...

Someone, somewhere, was crying, whimpers floating through the room like digital sorrow. Was this Hell?"

 
Scenes from the Digital Apocalypse
"Innovative, impressive, magnificent." ~ MARQUIS Magazine

BLACK RUST is "the sum of gothic eroticism, the Japanese tableau vivant, the modern primitive, fetishism, robotica, sex and religion". ~ Tim Bradstreet

"Totally relevant to its place and time, it exudes a decadent SF that mainstream culture is three steps behind" ~ .Warren Ellis
