Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Introducing a new exciting fantasy artist with a conceptual art book - a collection of images that fit together in a morbid jigsaw puzzle of wires, women and man-beasts to form a symbolic cyberotic tale of love, redemption and death. Tim Bradstreet calls it Òthe sum of gothic eroticism.Ó Will appeal strongly to fans of Ashley Wood and Brom.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Little Photoshop Can Do, February 4, 2007

By	Psyche "Gothic Wiccan" (Lake Worth, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This writer used to wonder where some of the best album art she's ever seen came from.

And then she clicked on a link on the official Colide page to Chad's page, and she found out.

The whole them of the artwork of Black Rust is of a world where nothing, and this writer means nothing, is impossible: cybernetic arms, out-there piercings, tattoos, and so on. In fact, according to the artist in the forward, the title of the book comes from a Japanese word reffering to the future.

One warning: this is not for those who are embarassed by the sight of bare breasts, for many of the female models are nude or half-nude

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow., February 7, 2005

By	PeoplePhobic (Jasper, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is totally awesome. Don't judge this one by the work on the cover. Inside it's much darker, more violent, and erotic. Many artists share a similar vision but few can back it with the techniqe and skill of Chad Michael Ward. This book is definitly the best of it's kind.
