Sandy Reece - Artist
I've been drawing all my life.  I started out copying Marvel Comics on brown paper bags
and even making little tattoos on my Barbie dolls. Then I Moved up to the El Marko
graphitti on my school desks.  Of course this became my obsession now.  It was time to
start sending things out.  BMR was the first to publish my art.  I love doing the horror art.  
I can work with airbrush, oilsand pastels or pretty much anything.  I'm currently working on
my Turbo Bich Comics.  It's about the horrors of working retail.  Hope you enjoy my work.  
           
Blood and Kisses,  Sandy Reece
