I am a painter, illustrator, graphic designer, programmer, internet technician, comic book author, childrens books author, novelist, and sculptor living in the Providence RI area.
I grew up in the days where bands and authors had all the best painters working for them, and I've dreamt childhood through now of being one of those artists such as Michael Whelan, Derek Riggs, Brom, and Frank Frazetta.
My artwork serves as central props in horror movies, as album covers for various bands, as book illustrations for my works and those of others.
I am published in an upcoming art book from Ilex Press, alongside great artists such as Bethalynne Bajema, and Brom! (the book is due out in September - the name of the book to be announced).
A movie called "Quench" featuring many of my paintings will be out in October.
My comic book will also be out in October, and my children's book will be out in late November.
You can find me and more of my works at mykeamend.com, and at themiskatonicarchive.com.
My goal is to create calm, beautiful, and sometimes depressing scenes, atop an undercurrent of confusion, rage, terror, fascination, love, wonder, and even jest - all based upon a random combination of obvious themes, and obscured meanings - for others to interpret, or project, as they will.
No matter the concept, or the underlying meaning, I present a great amount of activity, drama, and even chaos, in the most tranquil and serene settings and poses - I aim for each piece to contain much hidden imagery - images making other images, visages hidden in stone and ice.
My goal is to for my works to present something fascinating and new to the owner, with each and every day.
