Born and raised in California, Brian M. Viveros began his career drawing at an early age of four, launching his journey and obsession into the surreal. With no formal training, only the sketching of a 32 pencil which was music to his ears, he began to draw and study from the masters in comics, fine art, films and fantasy.

The turning point in Brian's career came with his participation in "The Art of Porn" exhibition held in Switzerland at The Musee d'art Contemporain Pornographique in 1997, curated by friend and art advisor Les Barany, introducing Brian's work to a wide international audience. Since then, Brian's work has been exhibited extensively both here in the USA and in Europe. Magazine features about his art have appeared in Secret, In the Flesh, Skin Two, Drawing Blood, Darks Art Magazine, and Art Alternatives. His comic book works includes Vesil I, II, III, Hardcore, Snuff, Psycho Hunter and the short story, The Magdalena in Fetish Magazine. Currently he employs the unique combination of airbrush, and charcoal in his paintings on paper. Well-known for his smoking women and surrealist approach to the female form, Viveros' tattoo'd women robots were prominently featured at the 2004 Woodstock Tattoo Festival, along with such notables as H.R. Giger, Joe Coleman, Winston Smith and S. Clay Wilson.
