Stephen Kasner (b. 1970) is a painter, illustrator, musician, photographer, graphic artist, and magician.

His paintings have been exhibited all over the world and have influenced a new wave of artists. [1] His paintings, drawings and photographs reflect visions of a pre/post-apocalyptic industrial landscape and the struggle for survival contained in dreams of enlightenment.

Kasner works in paint, photography, and drawings, as well as experimental music under the name Blood Fountains[2][3].

He has done album artwork for Khlyst[4], Sunn O)))[5], Integrity[6], and Martin Grech[7], among many others.

Kasner recently released the book Stephen Kasner WORKS: 1993 - 2006 (Scapegoat Publishing, 2007)[8], a lavish career retrospective with text by various artistic luminaries and collaborations with Seldon Hunt, David D'Andrea, Steven Leyba, and Steven Cerio. [9]

Presently, Stephen lives in California with his wife Rebecca, and daughter.[10]
