Career[]
Bradstreet entered the comic book industry in 1990, working with industry legend Tim Truman on DragonChiang.
His work on role-playing games has included GDW's Twilight 2000 and FASA's Shadowrun. Bradstreet’s work on White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade garnered him much critical praise. This, in turn, led to the addition of many major comic book publishers to his clientele. He has since drawn for scores of comic and game related projects including the Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines video game, elements of the Star Wars franchise, Clive Barker's Age of Desire, Marvel Comics' The Punisher and Blade, and Vertigo's Gangland, Unknown Soldier, Human Target and Hellblazer.
In 2000 he joined director Guillermo Del Toro as a conceptual artist on the film Blade II. In 2003, Bradstreet worked on a number of movie posters for the 2004 film of The Punisher and also worked on the black and white stop motion animated scene set in Kuwait for the extended cut DVD. The sequel, Punisher: War Zone, climaxed in a battle at the 'Brad Street Hotel'.
In 2006, the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden used Bradstreet's design for the cover of their album A Matter of Life and Death.
