Stomach Bodies by Alex Pardee

Alex Pardee (born February 5th, 1976) is an artist, best known for illustrating The Used's album artwork. He has also done works for Hurley International, Twenty Twenty Skateboards, Bay Area rapper TopR, Upper Playground, Street Drum Corps, Aiden, Kid Robot, and lately the cover of In Flames's 9th studio album, A Sense of Purpose, and its first single, entitled The Mirror's Truth. He is a member of the groups Cardboard City, and Zero friends. He runs the website Eye Suck Ink which includes links to his blogspot and store. Through his art he has admitted to overcoming depression and anxiety disorders along with emotional struggles. Alex is currently working on a motion picture for Chadam (often confused with Chadam Mihlberger) as well as various art shows and products."Alex Pardee’s unique style is one conceived through watching years of horror movies, writing graffiti, and listening to gangster rap. His work best represents that of a circus sideshow cemetery. Final pieces are often brought to life by translating random shapes and colors into signs of torment and absurdity. By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, Alex makes his works more personal to his viewers, forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character in his twisted universe.
