The Movie Monster Art Of Rob Birchfield

by Chris HammondApril 15, 2018

Versed in an array of methods and techniques, ROB BIRCHFIELD has become a master creator in all eras of the genre, from the classic horror of Frankenstein to the contemporary slashers of Michael Myers. Fluent in the use of oils, pencils, acrylics, airbrushing and digital art, Birchfield’s style is unique and unmatched and has crossed onto both digital and physical canvases. His art is a regular feature on horror magazine covers – inevitable that he will one day be mentioned in the same breath as the late, great Basil Gogos.

Find more eye-popping art (prints and original) on his official website and social media and get ready to delve into a visual mind’s eye view of the horror art of Rob Birchfield. 

 All prints are $25 USD with originals varying in price.

I've written for multiple websites on the art and collectible front. The horror bug that lives inside me is well cared for and has been going strong since I watched my first introduction to horror through a grainy VHS copy of John Carpenter's 1978 classic film Halloween.
