Beastman, aka Brad Eastman is one of the most exciting artists that I have seen in my shortish life. Having come across his work in the first issue of edtn, the two color brain child of art guru Greg Beer , I found myself instantly scouring the online community to locate more examples of his work, and what a feast I found. Having delved deep into his world, I discovered that this primitive animal is pretty nifty when it comes to creating images, armed with only a paintbrush in one hand and a few coloured pots of paint in the other.
When edtn held their summer exhibition last year, I was, along with many, completely awestruck with his twin piece, sadly the lack of vital funds at the time stopped me from taking the work home to hang on my wall but also show off to all my friends. Despite the bank of England cruelly denying me this pleasure, I have, as time has passed,thought quite a lot about the Talents of Beastman, and am often on his website admiring his latest creations and exhibition pieces.
Beastman it appears, is indeed a very busy animal, being not only content with his incredible artistic creations, he is also known to be pretty handy behind a camera lens. If that wasn't enough, he is also co - founder of the wicked online mag we are the image makers and has even had a go at creating his own fruit bowl, a bowl that would make you want to fully embrace the five a day theory and quite possibly even make the mouldy pieces look appetizing.
