Joseph
Vargo has been conjuring fantasy artwork for well over a decade. His gothic
visions open a gateway to the darkside and dare the viewer to venture
within. Prints and calendars of his work are sold worldwide and his haunting
images were the inspiration for the gothic anthology, Tales from the Dark
Tower. Joseph is the cover artist for Dark Realms Magazine and
has also been featured in several other publications including Spectrum
III, Carpe Noctem, and Dark Visions. His works have appeared on TV shows
including The Pretender and The Discovery Channel's documentary,
Alien Abduction: The Mystery Unraveled. In 1998, Joseph began working
with the band Midnight Syndicate, producing, directing the music and
creating the artwork for the gothic soundtrack Born of the Night. He
continued to work with them on the follow-up release Realm of Shadows.
In 2002, Joseph released The Gothic Tarot to critical acclaim. In
2003, Joseph returned to the music arena and released the haunting
soundtrack Darklore Manor with his new band, Nox Arcana. Vargo's avid
interest in horror writer H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos served as the
inspiration for Nox Arcana's second album,
Necronomicon.
