in his field are able to switch so effortlessly from harmless, Rockwell-esque
scenes of Southern tranquility to unsettling illustrations portraying the darkness of the
human soul. Everything McVey does is imbued with his instantly
recognizable style, no matter the chosen subject matter. And that is what
makes his work so unique. McVey is truly gifted, and I consider it an honor to
have worked with him."

"Alex McVey is, by far, the best artist working in the horror genre today. His vision is dark and disturbing, his technique fresh and ever-evolving. When viewing his work it's almost like a physical, tactile experience, rather than an optical one. It's as though you might be able to actually reach inside his paintings and feel flesh and bone, as well as live the terror and devestation that the subjects are exhibiting. I feel extremely fortunate to have Alex in my corner artistically."
- Ronald Kelly (author of Hell Hollow, Undertaker's Moon, and Midnight Grinding & Other Twilight Terrors)

"For anyone that sees it, you know right away that Alex's work is absolutely incredible. I've been a fan of his work for awhile, after seeing it in many books, and that's what caused me to pursue him to create our movie poster. His art has a certain professional quality that most artists lack. His results are always amazing, and he constantly surprises me with what he comes up with. He makes sure you're very involved in the entire process, from initial concept all the way to final product, and goes out of his way to keep you updated. On top of that, he's incredibly personable, and he's a fantastic person to work with."
- Jeff Heimbuch, Bamfer Productions

executed illustrations. Every time I've gone to him with a pressing need
for an illustration, he's delivered work of astounding quality on time. In
fact, he has generally beaten deadlines, thus making my life very easy.
Alex is very attentive to our requirements. He listens to and remembers
every detail that we discuss, and he has always been available to discuss
each piece in great depth. The result is consistently outstanding artwork
that suits our needs perfectly.
The quality of work that Alex delivers is unfailingly fantastic."

punctual in responding to emails and meeting

soon."

expected."

subtle conveyance of emotions, giving the observer the opportunity to
partake in the mood of the subject as well as the physical reality. From
a writer and editor's point of view, Alex's illustrations provide the
perfect accompaniment to fiction, conveying atmosphere without giving too
much away - truly a pleasure to work with!"
