Lee MacLeod bio:
“Lee MacLeod is a prolific artist whose work defined a generation of gamers and horror fans alike. Best known for his striking cover paintings for Nintendo Power magazine during its golden era, Lee brought games like Final Fantasy, Street Fighter II, and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse to life with vivid, cinematic artwork that captured the imaginations of countless readers. Beyond the gaming sphere, Lee’s art graced VHS covers for cult classics such as Subspecies and Puppet Master, helping to shape the visual language of ‘80s and ‘90s horror.
A graduate of Art Center College of Design, Lee has enjoyed a diverse career spanning illustration, concept art, and fine art landscapes, bringing the same vibrant energy and storytelling to his oil paintings of the American West as he once did to monster-filled gaming worlds. Whether crafting the heroic poses of pixelated warriors or capturing the haunting beauty of New Mexico skies, Lee MacLeod’s work is a testament to the enduring power of imagination, color, and composition.”
