2024...and BEYOND!!
I've been working for the last 8 months on an amazing new Dark Horse Comics 4 book series. I can't post any art or info yet, but by
April there will be a press release and the start of promotion. This has been a total labor of love and I can't wait for the books to come out.
I can now show some art from the Spire Animation Studio project, Trouble, that I worked on a few years ago. It's a totally wild and
original story.
I am the production designer on a new movie due out this year: Frankelda and the Prince of Spooks. You can see the artwork lower down.
It's a drop dead gorgeous stop motion animated movie from the super talented Cinema Fantasma Ambriz brothers of Mexico City.
In between times, I'm still working on the new Zone Continuum comic book series from the indie publisher, Sygygy Comics.
2023
Many exciting projects have taken flight with more on the runway ready to launch. First item is that I have 3 new Northwest Dreamscape
prints to offer on my Shopify store GO TO THE BRUCE ZICK ART STORE
Literally years in the making, I'm proud to announce that this August, Monkey King: The First Superhero will be released in China.
I am the production designer on this CG animated movie and I'm so excited to see it come out. It is a collaboration of eastern and western artists and it
really looks incredible. It will later be released in other countries around the world.
Cinema Fantasma, the superstar Mexico City stop motion animation studio, is releasing an HBO Latin special, Frankelda: Prince of Spooks.
I am the production designer on this very special film which just might be destined for greatness.
My newly designed NFT collection Cryptonauts, brought to you from the good folks at Mandala Metaverse, is now for sale. Big news will soon come out
about this collection and its ties to Sophiaverse, so stay tuned for more announcements.

GO TO THE BRUCE ZICK ART STORE
I've been working with an amazing MetaVerse company creating a new NFT collection. It's an ambitious project that will premiere in 2023!
Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of designing sets for Rainshine Animation Studio for their new feature: Young Captain Nemo. It will likely be out
in 2024.
Just in the last weeek I received word that Primordial has sold out. That means that there will be a second printing and hopefully a
new graphic novel continuing the storyline will start production soon.
Lastly, I've continued work on Frankelda, a stop motion feature by Cinema Fantasma, the wizards of animation. It will be out in 2023 and I'm really excited
about it.

2022!!
Welcome back. Been many exciting things since last year's posting. First of all, my new Dark Horse graphic novel, PRIMORDIAL, came out last September.
Also had a nice stint as concept artist for Spire Animation. Can't show anything until the movie comes out, sorry to say.
Primordial has been years in the making and is a story I'm very proud of. I've relied more on the art and less
on text and I think this is my best book ever.
Also creating color paintings of a landscape art series first produced years ago. But now it's in ever-loving living color!!
I have the great pleasure of creating much new design work for the amazing stop motion studio, Cinema Fantasma. Below are just a few of the recent new images.
And, finally, I'm 80 pages into the production of the next Zone Continuum book project, hopefully it will be out in 2023.

Since the first printing had sold out, The Atomic Legion second printing came out in January. It's a smaller and cheaper format and looks really great
This September, my next Dark Horse book, Primordial, comes out. I truly believe this is the best work I've done and I can't wait to hear from folks about it.There is more
artwork from the book if you scroll down this main page a bit.
This July, a Thor graphic novel just came out, collecting my works from issues 460-467. It's been many years since I did these books and I'm so proud of so much of it

I worked for Spire Animation Studios on a secret project, so I can't show any work from it, but just thought you'd like to know.
I'm continuing to work for a studio in Mexico, Cinema Fantasma, and I'm really loving creating more finished color work than normal.
