    Here be Dragons ep. 014 with guest Alexander Gustafson

    Join Allen Childers and Carla Morrow as we talk art and the business of art! This week we chat with Alexander Gustafson!!! Alex is An Award Winning Illustrator, Concept Artist, Maquette Sculptor and Art Director. Growing up in the icy mountains of Vermont, he enjoyed drawing stories and playing Dungeons and Dragons to ward off the cold. Alex also spent hours in those formative years admiring the works of modern masters like Todd Lockwood, Chris Van Allsburg, James Gurney, and Brom. All of this eventually compelled him to seek out a career in fantasy illustration, where he has the freedom to create worlds and tell stories with pictures. The art he makes is meant to inspire people to remember that their inner kid can come along for the ride into adulthood and to spark imagination and wonder in those who take time out to view it. Alex graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008 with a Master’s degree in Illustration, and continues to pursue his passion for fantasy, sci-fi, and steampunk.
