Arik Moonhawk Roper

"Arik Moonhawk Roper was born in 1973 in New York City, grew up in Richmond, Virginia, then returned to New York to attend the School of Visual Arts from 1991-1995. Since then he has built a universe of strange and familiar fantasy, horror, surreal, and psychedelic imagery. After starting out creating record and cd covers for a variety of bands, he has continued onward and into more diverse areas of poster design and graphic illustration, and animation. He is currently a contributor for Arthur magazine, and recently created a book titled Mushroom Magick for Abrams Books."

I own Mushroom Magick and I've studied this guy's watercolor work quite a bit. Truly one of a kind, and I believe he's one of the most important fantasy artists of our generation.
