About the Piece:
This illustration was done for Apex Digest Issue 9, which premiered in March 2007. The cover was for the main story, Sum of His Parts by Kevin J. Anderson. This was a retelling of the classic Frankenstein story, but rather than focusing on the creation of the monster or on the monster itself, the story revolves around the body parts' owners. This is the moment of conception, the exact moment that lightning strikes life into the heart of the creature.

About the Artist:
Paul and his brother Michael opened Aradani Studios in 2002, selling both their artwork and costuming as they travelled all across the US. Paul’s medium of choice is charcoal, a passion he discovered in college. He loves the fluidity of it, the ease of moving it across the page with a simple gesture, and on the flipside, the challenge of it, such a simple gesture can also erase hours of painstaking detail. Paul’s work has won numerous awards around the country, including the prestigious Chesley Award in 2006, for Best Monochrome Unpublished for his piece Nightmare. He currently resides in Nashville, TN, where he, his brother, and sister continue to expand and build their elf ear empire. You can see his artwork at http://paulbielaczyc.com/.
