-IZMA-
I’m a Bristol UK based horror illustrator and game dev with over a decade of experience in the industry.
My artwork is heavily inspired by 80’s and 90’s comics, heavy metal music, horror movies and a deep love of videogames. My work attempts to reflect the pen and ink drawings I love from earlier era’s through a contemporary lens.
I work as a freelance illustrator and I’m always available for private commissions and to assist in creative projects so please feel free to reach out and start a discussion using either the details or contact form below.

Testimonials:
"We had the pleasure of working with -IZMA- on a short notice piece of work for an ongoing project. We were impressed with his professionalism and ability to follow a brief, as well as the quality of his work, and hope to work with him again in the future!"
Gordon Bell - CTO - Nosebleed Interactive
"When we were asked to hold a director Q&A screening of Red Sonja (2025) and MJ Bassett's previous fantasy epic, Solomon Kane (2009) - with star James Purefoy in attendance - we knew we wanted a bespoke poster for the occasion - not just for attendees, but something we could also gift to our guests. -IZMA- delivered a resplendent poster (on time and on budget!) that captured both the pulpy vibe we were looking for, whilst echoing the influences of Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. Not only did our guests love them, but they made sure to also sign them for our audience making them a wonderful memento for the evening. We'd definitely recommend -IZMA- for all your genre artwork needs."

"-IZMA- helped me out with the HLM 1 vinyl & the HLM 10th Anniversary vinyl, among other things. It just wouldn’t have been possible without him. I love working with other artists who leave their ego at home yet retain integrity and an authentic style & understands what collaborative effort means in a creative environment. Pure Ace!"

“I loved working with -IZMA-! He’s a talented UI artist with a great feel for players and UX, and he has a rare, holistic understanding of game development as a whole, he’s a game developer in the truest sense. My department often relied on him for more than UI: he’d dive into rapid prototyping, game mechanics, bespoke interactions, and even pitch deck art and creative direction when needed. On large projects he can fully own the UI, and on small projects he’s incredibly versatile. He’s also very easy to work with, personable, often funny, and able to slot into any team.”
