Fantasy Visions
The Art Of Brian Hamner
Many thanks to Brian Hamner for providing this month's cover art. Brian is a
highly motivated, creative, and versatile commercial illustrator specializing in
fantasy and dark fantasy artwork. He calls upon his love of the fantasy universe to
create his visually stunning images.
Brian was born on the Mid-Atlantic Tropical island of Terceria, which is a territory
of Portugal, and has lived in many different and exciting places all over the world.
His father was enlisted in the United States Air Force so the family traveled a lot
before finally settling down in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
In addition to painting and drawing, Brian has worked as an Art Director and Graphic Artist while maintaining a steady freelancing career on the sidelines.
"I love to create art. My life has taken many turns, but through it all I kept
drawing and painting. I was always sure of what I wanted to do with my life.
Early in my twenties, I became determined to try and turn my dreams into
reality. I began to experiment in all the media that hadn't been readily available to
me before. I finally settled into acrylic paints as the instrument of choice."
You can catch Brian through e-mail or at Dragoncon in Atlanta Georgia in the
convention's Art Show.
