Tim Bradstreet was born February 16, 1967, in Cheverly, Maryland. He graduated high school in 1985. [2]
Bradstreet entered the comic book industry in 1990, working with Tim Truman on Dragon Chiang.
Bradstreet's work on White Wolf Publishing’s Vampire: The Masquerade garnered him much critical praise. This, in turn, led to the addition of many major comic book publishers to his clientele. He has since drawn for scores of comics-related projects including Dark Horse's Hard Looks and Another Chance to Get It Right (with author Andrew Vachss), Star Wars , Clive Barker’s Age of Desire, Marvel's The Punisher and Blade , and Vertigo's Gangland, Unknown Soldier , Human Target , and Hellblazer . [3]
Bradstreet's work has also extended to games of many types. His work on role-playing games has included GDW’s Twilight 2000 and FASA’s Shadowrun . He was involved in art design for the Activision's Vampire: Bloodlines video game. He illustrated cards in Last Unicorn Games' CCG Heresy: Kingdom Come . [4]
Bradstreet was awarded the 1996 International Horror Guild Award for Best Artist. [5] He was also nominated for a 2005 IHG Award for his Hellblazer covers. [6] Bradstreet has also been nominated for the 2002 Best Cover Artist Eisner Award for his Hellblazer covers. [7]
In 2000, he joined director Guillermo del Toro as a conceptual artist helping work on the visual design for the film Blade II . In 2003, Bradstreet worked on a number of movie posters for the Marvel/Lions Gate film, The Punisher as well as the cover for The Punisher: Countdown mini-comic that was packaged with the original DVD release. In 2006 Bradstreet provided artwork for a black and white stop motion animated scene set in Kuwait for the extended cut DVD. Bradstreet has also done posters for the films – Punisher: War Zone , Dark Country , Give 'Em Hell, Malone , and I Melt with You. He has done a poster for the TV Series The Expanse. [8]
Bradstreet was also the regular cover artist for two books, Marvel's The Punisher and Vertigo/DC's Hellblazer. [9] He has created over 70 covers for both books in the past five years.
In 2006, Bradstreet created the album art for British heavy metal band Iron Maiden's album A Matter of Life and Death , which featured a mob of skeleton soldiers walking in front of a tank and features Eddie, the band's mascot at the top of the tank with a Thompson M1/M1A1 pointed up in the air. In 2016, he appeared on Brad Jones' Midnight Screenings to discuss the movie Why Him? [10]
In the May 1994 edition of Dragon (Issue #205), Rick Swan specifically mentioned Bradstreet's work in GURPS Vampire: The Masquerade , saying, "The illustrations are among the best I’ve ever seen in an RPG product, particularly those by Tim Bradstreet. His depiction of a vampire feasting on the wrist of a fellow burn-out [...] evokes both the horrors of addiction and the intimacy of a shared secret. White Wolf, Steve Jackson, or Bradstreet himself ought to market it as a poster." [11]

Vertigo Comics was an imprint of American comic book publisher DC Comics started by editor Karen Berger in 1993. Vertigo's purpose was to publish comics with adult content, such as nudity, drug use, profanity, and graphic violence, that did not fit the restrictions of DC's main line, thus allowing more creative freedom. Its titles consisted of company-owned comics set in the DC Universe, such as The Sandman and Hellblazer, and creator-owned works, such as Preacher, Y: The Last Man and Fables.
John Constantine, Hellblazer is an American contemporary horror comic-book series published by DC Comics since January 1988, and subsequently by its Vertigo imprint since March 1993, when the imprint was introduced. Its central character is the streetwise English sorcerer and con man John Constantine, who was created by Alan Moore and Stephen R. Bissette, and first appeared as a supporting character in Swamp Thing #37, during that creative team's run on that title. Hellblazer had been published continuously since January 1988, and was Vertigo's longest-running title, the only remaining publication from the imprint's launch. In 2013, the series concluded with issue 300, and was replaced by Constantine, which returned the character to the mainstream DC Universe. The original series was revived in November 2019 for twelve issues as part of The Sandman Universe line of comics, under the DC Black Label brand. Well known for its extremely pessimistic tone and social/political commentary, the series has spawned a film adaptation, television show, novels, and multiple spin-offs and crossovers.
