Brown has been living and working in Japan since 1994.
His artwork delves into various paraphilias, including lolicon, ero guro, BDSM, and other fetishistic themes. In Brown's art, themes of innocence and violence intersect with elements of misogyny and Japanese popular culture, creating a complex and provocative tableau.
Early features on Trevor Brown's art appeared in Adam Parfrey's Apocalypse Culture II, Shade Rupe's Funeral Party 2, 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.
