Mark Rogers

You know what I don't see much of? Aliens and the Old West. Sure, it's been attempted but never quite executed in the way that I'd like to see. Enter Portland, Oregon's Mark Rogers, a self-taught artist doing a helluva job depicting the weird, the occult, the alien (in multiple senses of the word) and the Old West. Granted, he branches out beyond that settings as well but none of his work feels like it's set in any sort of contemporary landscape.

Spend some time with his paintings but don't sleep on the drawings and sketches, which show the groundwork that goes into the final work.
