My work during my mentorship with surreal horror painter Brad Moore, during the summer of 2026.
Exploring surrealism
Exploring surrealism
The plan, the process the goal
My mission for this mentorship was to focus on building my skills in traditional mediums, surrealism and music related marketing artwork such as album covers and wraparounds. Secondarily I wanted to focus on documenting my process and working with clients goals in mind.
Part one : dipping my toes
For the first project I wanted to dip my toes into creating a semi surrealist environmental painting in acrylic. Taking my digital mockup and transferring it onto illustration board how my mentor had suggested.
Part two : JUmping in
After the first painting I wanted to jump right into experimenting more with color and leaning so far into surrealism that it was almost abstract.
Part three : Changing pace
After my first to paintings I wanted to lean into something more horror. Experimenting with the square format specifically with album covers in mind.
Design
Logo and album cover designs for local band “Lurch”. Here I was focused on creating works that reflected their vision and musical sound.
I created two separate logos to be used for merch and flyers.
