Venom 2 Let There Be Carnage: St Estas Swing

Adam Burns is a concept artist working across a broad range of projects. Working at Sony Pictures Entertainment on Venom, The Aaron Sims Company on Wonder Woman and A Wrinkle in Time and crushing it with a constant undercurrent of freelance work. In 2013 he worked with Peter Cooper to create the Telikos Protocol, a beautifully illustrated science fiction post-apocalyptic graphic novel.

Venom 2 Let There Be Carnage: Death Chamber 1
BRUTAL: Mimic

His work captures some of the best aspects of Sci-Fi art, equally skilled at action packed space battles and moody, aesthetic draped shots of cyclopean scenes or eldritch beings of unknowable origins.

I really love his more recent personal work, Brutal. His Brutal series of really creepy scenes with no apparent attachment but a common thread of body horror, good old regular horror and awesome creepy vibes. You can hit up his site and snag some awesome prints from that and other series created by him.

Don’t forget his Portfolio!
