BIO |
Award winning artist
Billy Tackett hasn’t always been referred to as “The
Creepiest Artist In America”. With humble beginnings
in rural KY, the darkness came a-callin’ early on. His
fondness for Famous Monsters of Filmland over Little Golden
Books hinted at a dark future to come.
After publishing
over 200 book cover and illustrations he created his signature
piece, Zombie Sam, giving birth to his Dead White & Blue
series. Those paintings then became the inspiration for the
Dead White & Blue Comics graphic novel, scheduled for
release in 2010.
Billy’s ability
to bring characters to life on canvas and paper caught the
attention of best-selling author Shane Moore who dubbed him
“Duco-Letum” (Painter of Death) and named him
Official Artist of his Abyss Walker Series.
Utilizing his talents
in both graphic design and traditional art, Billy has unearthed
a line of graphic Ts emblazoned with the denizens of the vast
and forbidding wasteland known as his Imagination.
