Alex Pardee
“Alex Pardee has turned emotional escape into aggressive exploration, and he has done this through the use of biomorphic and anthropomorphic expression. The horse his mind rides is a hot rubber unicorn, but he’ll get back to the world before it melts.” — Robert Williams, Founder, Juxtapoz Magazine
Alex Pardee is a Los Angeles based freelance illustrator, apparel/toy designer, comics creator and overall transmedia pioneer known around the world for his pop surrealist “happy nightmare” creations (dubbed “Brightmares”).
Pardee’s iconic Brightmare creations are full of color, vibrantly blending the cute with the horrific. His fine art has been exhibited in galleries around the world for over 15 years, and he’s worked on some incredible creative projects, including film design (Zack Snyder’s SUCKER PUNCH film), album design (platinum-award winning rock band The Used), animation (Chadam) and poster designs for Mondo.
His street art can be found around the world, such as in San Francisco’s historic Haight District and Hawaii. His artwork has been praised by influential art publications such as Juxtapoz and Hi-Fructose magazines and he’s had the honor of curating two entire issues of JUXTAPOZ Art Magazine. He currently owns and operates a lifestyle and art brand featuring his personal art, toys, books, and apparel.
Now, for the first time ever, Pardee is bringing his beloved “Brightmare” creations to the world of rare digital art!
