Simon Bisley does The Bible





Okaaaayyy, so you have the book that is the fundamental cornerstone of two major religions, of which thus speaketh the Word of God to the throngs of man and brings understanding of God's kingdom to the masses - and who better to illustrate it than an iron-pumping heavy metal listening tattooed monster like Simon Bisley?

Mr. Bisley is probably better known for crafting beautiful yet arcane (and admittedly pagan) paintings for the adult-oriented Heavy Metal and Judge Dread/Batman crossover special Judgement Over Gotham. On par with Alex Ross and Dave McKean for translating comic images via acrylic rather than by pencil, Bisley is actually the perfect choice for such a project. I mean, who else knows Christian and demonic images better than a death-metal freak?
