The Art & Design of Bart Willard

About Contact Links home

With a career in art & design that started 13 years ago, I've spent the last five years working out of my studio in Warren, Indiana. My humble beginnings as a contract graphic designer and illustrator have grown, over the years, into the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror art I enjoy working on these days.

Combining my Christian faith with the fact that I'm a huge sci-fi, fantasy, and horror junkie (yes, a Christian can enjoy a good horror story) has produced what I believe to be a unique style and personal aesthetic. I'm definitely not your garden variety "Christian artist" (I really hate the connotations that phrase produces) and I'm quite willing to address subjects and themes in an unconventional way. I enjoy using symbolism, metaphor and my personal brand of imagery to get the point across in stark and sometimes unsettling ways.

My art has been used for book & magazine covers, CD album covers, game art and I've even done a few murals. My list of satisfied associates and clients is continually growing and includes:

Shroud Magazine
The rock band Sectara
DesignWorks Group
The Pulse Opera House

Union Square Music
Team Kaizen Games
Audio Text
Firefly Games
