Get to know Chris...

Birthdate? 12/28/1959

When did you start illustrating? 2003

When and what and where did you make your first sale? It was a book cover that I created in the year 2003 right after I got out of college. I was living in Mount Vernon IN at the time.

Why do you paint or draw? I have always enjoyed painting when I was a child. My Grandmother was an oil painter and I learned a lot from her. I then got involved with computers and discovered electronic art programs. I was in heaven!

Why do you work with Science Fiction and/or Fantasy? That also is Grandma’s fault. She was always reading and watching horror, fantasy and sci-fi stuff and she got me interested in it and I always have been since a small child.

Who is your favorite illustrator? That is a hard one! I love the works of Ciruelo Cabral and I also love Salvador Dali.

What is your medium of choice? I use computer generated art programs.

Do you work in any other medium? No, not at this time.

Does this particular illustration have a story behind it? Yes. She is suppose to represent softness and strength…she is the Goddess of War so that she has a hold on War..controlling it..to release at her own will.

Do you blog? No

If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say? I live in your warm life and you die, sweetly die into mine. “ you asked ;) “
