With the official and unique title of Neo-Spiritual Method Artist, Razael Alucard Wickham is an American artist: the visionary behind the original Spiritual/Sci-Fi/Fantasy series, The Edge Of Beyond, and whose musical prowess is
just one of many talents.
Born October 24th, 1983 in Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, and growing up in a military family in places such as West Frankfurt, Germany, and Tacoma, Washington, Raz began his artistic journey as early as 1991 with various world-building concepts, but it wasn't until 1997 when The Edge Of Beyond as a name came to fruition as well as the main story
concepts supporting it.
Unable to pursue a career in filmmaking after finishing high school in 2002 due to his financial status and rustic location, Raz finalized what creative elements he could for T.E.O.B. in writing before awakening a dormant side of his artistic self.
By default in 2003, Raz changed his artistic course in pursuit of the same ultimate goal and in turn became a full-time musician being the Writer/Singer/Guitarist for the Symphonic/Metal/Metal band of the same name.
That same year, he founded R.A.W. Productions LLC as an official business entity to carry out his future plans for T.E.O.B. as a multimedia franchise. Spending several years writing, recording, and performing, he would come to find a natural groove behind his prominent guitar on stage, a transparent-blue Jackson King V-4 along with two others whilst pioneering an original stage presence, unique voice, and iconic instrumental sound that paid homage to the likes of Megadeth and Metallica.
After moving to Nashville, TN in October of 2007, he attended Audio Engineering courses at S.A.E. Institute and continued pursuing a music career for five years there.
To his chagrin, he would end up being forced to walk away from the stage entirely in 2011 and back into the literary realm, reluctantly right back where he started.
Sidetracked by the performance side of things for nearly 10 years, Raz took a long break from the world of music to refocus his career path and specifically hone the literary side of T.E.O.B. with a novel series in the works.
In late 2011, Raz re-emerged with R.A.W. Productions to bring his epic story into a more tangible format.
In 2012, Raz started finalizing the official first trilogy in screenplay form, which ended up taking two years to complete. As Writer/Director/Producer, Raz has built T.E.O.B. as an iconic brand through R.A.W. Productions, with all intents and purposes of using his flagship IP to build a fully-functional multimedia production company, which is partially aimed at helping to produce other creator-owned projects in need
of professional services.
Sticking to what he knows best, Raz has continued developing his life's work in full, with T.E.O.B. remaining his overall legacy.
With several scripts already in his arsenal and several more on the way, Raz successfully completed the final stages of reverse-engineering by releasing each of his screenplays for the first trilogy into novelization, The Edge Of Beyond: Rise Of The Fallen, released October 24th, 2015, The Edge Of Beyond: Wings Of Destruction, released October 24th, 2016, The Edge Of Beyond: Twilight Of The Gods, released October 24th, 2017.
An official full-length Graphic Novel based on the 14-page prologue of the first book, The Edge Of Beyond: Dark Legacy, is in production and is scheduled for release on October 24th, 2024, as well as an official Source/Art book entitled, The Edge Of Beyond: Angelic Artifacts, which started production in 2016 and is scheduled for release October 24, 2025.
To add more credibility to his already profound design, Raz has been working with a renowned scientist named Weston Warren, Chief Research Scientist/Chemical Engineer and Co-Inventor behind the world's current technology known as PCO (Photo-Catalytic-Oxidation), who for the past several years has been acting as Scientific Advisor, which in turn has brought more real-world plausibility to the innovative concepts already supporting the story and overall vision behind T.E.O.B since 1997.
Supported by commercial skits which were written and directed by himself, Raz has also been working with Weston directly to produce his original branding
as the official Chief Marketing Coordinator/Brand Creator for a mobile version of PCO technology known as, PuriPal, which is on sale through its official website.
Known for raising the bar as well as the stakes of every project he encounters, Raz was given the official title of Neo-Spiritual Method Artist by his professional colleagues in early 2020 due to his unique and sometimes revered abilities as a multi-talented artist to push boundaries that go beyond the
basic levels of quality.
While his work and artistic leadership has certainly created somewhat of a "figurehead" status in the public eye, it's well-known and documented that his high-concept and intellectual approach with all things musical, visual, and literary through what has been coined as the (R.A.W. Productions Treatment) has become an iconic staple. Such results from his profound methodology and high standard of quality only live up to the reputation he's earned over the years along with having a high level of moral and spiritual basis
for everything he produces.

T.E.O.B. is being launched as a full-length Spiritual/Sci-Fi/Fantasy franchise supported by various forms of visual-related material. While generating sales and building a fan base with the novel series through various convention circuits such as Planet Comicon in Kansas City Missouri, Raz showcased T.E.O.B. in epic fashion through what is specifically known as the world's first interactive book signing event and officially coined as,
The Edge Of Beyond Experience.
