Jeff Gaither -
Jeff Gaither lives in Louisville, Kentucky and has been practicing his particular blend of horror and rock art for over 25 years. He has created art for The Misfits, Guns-N-Roses, The Undead, Biohazard, Insane Clown Posse, The Accused and many more bands of all genres. He blames it all on his aunt, who in his youth bought him copies of Famous Monster Magazine and took him to movies like "The Exorcist" and "Night of the Living Dead". Painting and drawing (old school way), digital art, photography, sculpture, public art, you name it, Gaither can do it, and has done it. He is a self-taught artist. His work seeks out the sense of darkness and humor that is inside all of us.
