I'm Alexei, a freelance illustrator specialising in horror art. My heart lies in telling stories through image making, and if that story happens to be spine-chilling, even better! I grew up on Goosebumps book covers and late 80s horror movie posters, hands covered in ink, paint and glue. I enjoy illustrating traditionally and digitally, and often marrying the two with mixed media approaches and digital manipulation. Gouache paint is my one true love! I pride myself on being friendly and approachable, diligent and always keen to learn. I thrive when working with other creative minds who communicate effectively and clearly so that I can create the exact outcome they are looking for! Don't be spooked, drop me a line! Note:: I will not use AI in any of my work and cannot be persuaded to do so.
