About House of Blackmoore
Welcome to House of Blackmoore, a visionary Digital Art House brought to life
by the artistic endeavors and creative prowess of Craig Blackmoore.
As the Artist behind this digital sanctuary, I am driven by a singular mission, to weave seamless connections between the physical and digital realms, curating captivating experiences that infuse technology with novelty and fun.
In my artistic journey, I wear a few hats. I'm a Digital Artist, Technology Enthusiast, Painter, Illustrator, Musician, and New emerging Tech Fanatic. My insatiable passion lies in crafting multi-sensory experiences that enrich our collective reality. The boundless realm of digital art is my canvas, and I relish in exploring various mediums, constantly experimenting with new techniques to bring my visions to life.
I draw from a vast array of tools and methods so my creative process has no boundaries. From the timeless art of hand drawing to the immersive world of 3D rendering, from harnessing the power of math-based generators to incorporating elements of coding, XR, AI, and beyond, I blend these elements harmoniously to craft unique works.
As a painter and illustrator, my style marries pop art, cartoon style, and psychedelic art. Many of my paintings have a second layer to them: either they are UV reactive or they have an AR animation that becomes visible when scanned with the proper app. I also specialize in painting nude and eros visuals. Many of my illustrations contain "tongue in cheek" comedic concepts. The fact that my physical pieces have a digital layer or special effect blends physical and digital art, creating a truly immersive experience.
Art + Tech = Magic
At House of Blackmoore, innovation meets imagination, as I strive to push the boundaries of what is possible in the digital realm. My artistic creations are not confined to any singular form; rather, they transcend conventional expectations, inviting you to embark on an extraordinary journey where technology and creativity intertwine.
