The Art of Valerie Herron

Valerie Herron is an illustrator, conceptual designer, and fine artist. She works with the visual language of symbolism, gleaning from the vocabulary of mythology and the human condition, modern esoterica, and the wordless understanding within the subconscious. Valerie’s work is intensely colorful and macabre, an exercise in storytelling through poignant imagery. Valerie works in a wide range of media, including water color, ink, acrylics, and digital. She continues to venture into third-dimensional work through the occasional transition of painting to artifact. Valerie is pursuing a degree in Illustration at Pacific Northwest College of Art, where she is currently working on senior thesis work. She is also an intern for Faerieworlds LLC, and works as a freelance illustrator and fine artist. Valerie also spends her time writing, filming & editing video art, and designing costumes.

Now that the has been officially released, check out this illustration I created for The Breaking's new EP "Gravity's Pull"!

This is the first black and white image I've created in a long time and it was a lot of fun. It is a continuous illustration that stretches across the EP cd cover. I'm excited to be working with The Breaking again later this year on graphics for their full length album.

Be sure to check out The Breaking on facebook. If you like The Decemberists or other meloncholy, American folky music you will love The Breaking!

But I pulled you and I called you here, And I caught you and I brought you here These hazards of love, never more will trouble us.

"The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams Upon the instruments of death The sunlight brightly gleams When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams Will no one lay the laurel wreath When silence drowns the screams Confusion will be my epitaph As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying"
