JACEN BURROWS.COM

I draw comics for adults and it is more fun than your job.

I'm also chock full of random trivia information about fine art, film, videogames, the 80's, horror and the best ways to piss off a redneck.

JUST RELEASED! The trade paperback collection of all six issues of Garth Ennis' CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD, a dark, humorous look at the Antichrist that I did all the art for. I'm doing covers for Warren Ellis' BLACK GAS and Avatar's Zombie books. Past works include: DARK BLUE, BAD WORLD, SCARS, Apparat: SIMON SPECTOR all with Warren Ellis. COURTYARD with Alan Moore. 303 with Garth Ennis and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE for Avatar Press. These are all available at decent comic shops in trade paperback form. You can also buy these online at http://www.avatarpress.com. I have also done art for Rockstar Games (GTA:Vice City and Oni).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Zombies, aliens, monsters, ghosts and freaks.
By the way, I don't really leave those "thanks for the add" comments. Not that I am not thankful, I am just far too lazy to bother. Take no offense! I suck at responding to emails and such so it can take me a while to get back to you.
