Arik Moonhawk Roper is an illustrator and painter known for creating album covers and poster art for seminal heavy bands such as Sleep, High on Fire, Earth, Kvelertak, Sunno))), Cathedral, Weedeater, Earthless, and Windhand to name a few. He began his early career primarily working with bands creating album art for cds and records for which he developed a devoted following.  He soon moved into storyboarding for commercial and ad agencies, then onward into animation design, book and magazine illustration, visual design for music industry artists, and art direction for creative groups and game companies.

Roper’s work encompasses a diverse field of design and distinct style, ranging from black and white illustration, to meticulous lettering and logo design, to rich abstract psychedelic color and landscapes that often seem to exist in their own universe. The imagery springs from the depths of a fertile imagination, invoking psychedelic visions, ancient dreams, and idyllic natural environments. With an interest in mythology, consciousness, psychology, religion and other timeless subjects, Roper mixes the light and the dark within his art to reveal imagery which is at once strangely unique, distantly familiar and always soaked with an earnestly fantastic aesthetic.
