Jason V Brock is a writer, artist, composer, filmmaker and polyhistor. Originally hailing from Charlotte, NC, Brock has traveled expansively, living in Seattle, Los Angeles and the Portland, OR area, but he feels most at home in Europe (Firenze, Praha, Paris or Wien). He is a liberal and an atheist with Hindu and Buddhist leanings.

His wife and soul mate, Sunni K Brock (a talented writer, cinematic editor and cook), live with their reptile brood in Southern California and Vancouver, WA.

Their interests are varied and include astrology, reading, vegetarianism/animal rights/health, herptiles, computers, science, psychology, virology, movies and music — especially 1970’s era Prog Rock: Yes, King Crimson, [early] Genesis and so on. They have eclectic tastes, however, and, in addition to most Classical, Swing, Metal, Noise/Industrial, Bluegrass, Film Soundtracks and Jazz, they also adore David Bowie, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Naked City/John Zorn, Mahavishnu, Chrome, Last Exit, The Clash and NoMeansNo, to name but a few. (As guitarist/singer/writer for his bands, ChiaroscurO and Graft, Jason played live extensively, compiling a large selection of original musical material: more than 80 songs/improvisations. His compositions are often complex, dark and heavy, using exotic instrumentation, a schizoid mixture of melodious hooks and avant-garde structure. He now performs his own film soundtracks.)

They are the producers of multiple documentaries (all directed/written by Jason and edited by Sunni): The AckerMonster Chronicles, about Forrest J Ackerman, which includes interviews with Ray Harryhausen, Dan O’Bannon, Joe Dante, John Landis, ans so on. Charles Beaumont: The Short Life of Twilight Zone’s Magic Man showcases (among others) Ray Bradbury, William F. Nolan, Harlan Ellison and Richard Matheson and Image, Reflection, Shadow: Artists of the Fantastic features H.R. Giger, Ernst Fuchs, Roger Dean, Robert Williams, J.K. Potter and more of the greatest artists now living.

The duos principal literary influences include: Borges, Lovecraft, Kafka, Serling, Chayefsky, Bataille, Faulkner, Vonnegut, Barth, Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Orwell, Arthur Miller, Shakespeare, Dante, Shelley, Homer, Poe, Robbe-Grillet, Richard Selzer, and the Southern California Sorcerers (Nolan, Beaumont, Johnson, Matheson, Tomerlin, Bradbury, et al). Jason’s art/poetry book, Totems and Taboos, was published in 2005 to excellent reviews. His writing has been published in Carnival Macabre, The Bleeding Edge: Dark Barriers, Dark Frontiers (co-edited with William F. Nolan), A Darker Vision, Calliope, Ethereal Tales, New Dawn Fades, Logan’s Run: Last Day (from Bluewater Comics), Dark Discoveries and in the charity anthology Animal Magnetism. Sunni has been featured in the online edition of Cemetery Dance and in Dark Discoveries.

Jason has had several gallery showings of his art/photography, and counts Bosch, Brueghel, Michelangelo, Wrightson, Fuchs, Botticelli, Wolfgang Grasse, Dali, Beksinski, Böcklin, Vesalius, the EC Comics artists, Francis Bacon, Minor White and Helmut Newton within his myriad inspirations. His graphic design background was well utilized when he worked for Morris Costumes, assisting with their enormous product catalog. His photos/artwork/graphic design have also appeared in Dark Discoveries, The Bleeding Edge, Charlotte Magazine, Charlotte Spectrum Magazine, and he was featured artist in A Darker Vision for five months in a row.
