Brian grew up in the 1980’s in a time and place where Heavy Metal, Fantasy Art/Games, Arcades and Satanic Panic reigned supreme. Some of his fondest childhood memories are that of playing DARK TOWER with this father. Many brigands and dragons were slain around the kitchen table in those formative years. Vulgord’s Tower not only pays homage to an icon of Brian’s youth, but also to the role of astute mentoring. Brian Magar is a full time graphic designer and part time musician. His design career started at a small advertising agency. Here he produced for a wide array of corporate clientele. In his late 20’s Brian became a sole proprietor working primarily as a new media designer and developer within the world of Heavy Metal. Brian currently plays in the dark ambient/tribal band THE OWLS ANWTS and the fantasy oriented DEATH/DOOM band CULTIC.
