Bradstreet has been working professionally ever since he graduated high school in 1985. He is primarily self-taught, choosing - instead of institutional training - to begin shaping his talent under the tutelage of fellow illustrator Steve Venters at Fantasmagraphics. With Venters' guidance, Bradstreet began illustrating role-playing games, honing his skills while pursuing his long-time ambition to draw comics. In 1990 he got his big break, working with industry legend Tim Truman on Dragon Chiang. 1990 is a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

His work on role-playing games continued with GDW’s Twilight 2000 and FASA’s Shadowrun. Bradstreet’s revolutionary work on White Wolf’s Vampire: The Masquerade garnered him much critical praise and ensured his place in pop-culture history. 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 Activision’s Vampire: Bloodlines video game, Dark Horse’s Hard Looks, Another Chance to Get It Right (With Author Andrew Vachss), and Star Wars, Clive Barker’s Age of Desire, Marvel's The Punisher and Blade, and Vertigo’s Gangland, Unknown Soldier, Human Target, and Hellblazer.

This is not to imply a limited range as Bradstreet has worked on subject matter ranging from high fantasy to science fiction, tied together by little other than his trademark photorealism and an ubiquitous brick wall or two.
