J.R. Barker is an illustrator and concept artist from Austin, Texas. His regularly contributes pop-culture artwork for shows at Gallery1988. Barker’s work has also made its way to the pages of sci-fi/fantasy art magazine ImagineFX.
Currently, Barker’s portfolio is a showcase of a handful of pieces. Despite that, it demonstrates a great understanding of colour. He uses complementary colours to help add focal points to his pieces. I feel his surreal touches work particularly well. Layered patterns, stars, and glows add an essential layer of interest.
You can find more of J.R. Barker’s work on his website, Tumblr and pick up some of his print on Society6.
