Biografie:
Trevor Brown is an English artist from London presently living in Japan whose work explores paraphilias, such as pedophilia, BDSM, and other fetish themes. Innocence, violence and Japanese popular culture all collide in Brown's art.
Early features on Trevor Brown's art appeared in Adam Parfrey's Apocalypse Culture II, and in Jim Goad's ANSWER Me! zine. Since then his interviews and art have been featured in numerous publications worldwide, most recently on the cover of Gothic & Lolita Bible in Japan. His work also appears on a variety of book and record covers. He has illustrated for Coup de Grace an edition of Friedrich Nietzsche's Der Antichrist. Brown has also had several books of his art published.
Brown was involved in a copyright controversy with the electronic band Crystal Castles, who had begun using Brown's work in 2006 on merchandise without the artist's permission. A financial settlement was reached in 2008.
