It’s hard to deny the appeal of James R Eads stunning digital paintings. With each closer examination we discover new details hidden in his swirls of vibrant color and flourishes of foliage. His works bend reality, turning our real-world into one that is fantastic and lively… a lyrical quality which has garnered him many commissions from bands for both their gig posters and album covers. Eads’ style lends itself well to that introspective space you can find yourself navigating while listening to that favorite album late at night.

Eads’ style flows from past masters of the impressionist era, channeling the elements of Monet, van Gogh and Georges Seurat into themes of the surreal. A great example of this is his recent gig poster for Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeros, shown below.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Eads now calls Brooklyn home and works there as a freelance illustrator. You can catch more of his fascinating works on Tumblr or CargoCollective.
