Horror Art from Nathan Freeman: "I focus a lot of my time working on horror inspired art, because I've always had a soft spot for the monsters that keep kids up at night, whether it being the Alien from Ridley Scott's original classic or Freddy Krueger creeping through our nightmares. I've always enjoyed putting them on canvas for children of this generation to enjoy and become inspired just like I was.

Above anything else I focus my talent on the heroes and villains of The Walking Dead because it gives you these great human characters to really pull for... Characters that week after week you get to feel like you're on this great journey with them. Because its not just about the zombies it's about the human struggle...

Currently my art can be viewed at Ingen gallery downtown in my hometown of Bowling Green, KY. You can purchase originals there or you can visit Society6 for prints and shirts and iPhone cases. My art will be on display at the Stucky Music Festival in Southern Kentucky, and I will have artists booths at Louisville Fandom Fest 2013, Wizard World Nashville 2013 and 2014 Comicon in Lexington, KY, so come out and say hi."
