ARTIST PROFILE: ALEX PARDEE

As promised, here is the first artist profile leading up to our Horror Business artshow on October 18th.
Alex Pardee is an artist that many of you may know, and we are all very excited that he agreed to take part in our upcoming show. Alex is a San Francisco based artist that works mostly in pen, inks, and watercolors. His artwork has graced many album covers for bands like The Used, In Flames, Cage, and more. Alex’s unique style is heavily influenced by horror movies and graffiti. His work best represents that of avibrant undead circus sideshow. Alex’s own form of therapy is art. His love for drawing and painting spawned from his fascination with the grotesque images of Garbage Pail Kids and Tales from the Crypt comics.
In 1999. Alex released his first publication, My Book of Colors. Since that release Alex has devoted every minute of his life to creating an entire universe of characters and monsters. He also recently launched his clothing brand Zero Friends, which we will be carrying during the duration of the Horror Business show.

Alex is currently of the Juxtapoz sponsored "Ignite What's Next" tour with N8 Van Dyke and Sam Flores. He is definitely an artist to look out for. Watch the below interview to catch a glimpse of Alex at work in his studio and to learn more about his influences and style. See you on the 18th!
