WHAT THEY SAY
"Paul Gerrard is a conceptual visionary who consistently produces work of mind bending originality.’"
Miles Millar / Showrunner : The Shannara Chronicles.
"If you can imagine taking the nightmares of Giger and the dystopian scope of Beksinski one step further , then you can imagine the work of Paul Gerrard"
Jonathan Liebesman / Director : TMNT, Battle LA, Halo.
"Master Gerrard's work penetrates the numbed pleroma of our hellborne gothic consciousness like some bastard biomechanical spawn of Clive Barker and H.R. Giger, hotwiring long dormant circuits and conjuring chiaroscuro dreamscapes at once shockingly alien and brutally famillar in a symphony of twisted body armour, chitin, kevlar and tortured flesh. There are indeed new worlds here and new and deeper hells, proof positive that chaos never died."
