JEFF EASLEY
Special Guest
Jeff Easley was born in Nicholasville, Kentucky in 1954. He had an early interest in art, especially when it had a fantastic element. To say he is a huge Frank Frazetta fan is an understatement. He graduated from Murray State University with a BFA degree in painting in 1977.
Easley began his professional carreer as a freelancer, including a few projects with Warren Publishing and Marvel comics. In 1982, he joined the art staff at TSR Inc. which would also include such talents as Larry Elmore, Keith Parkinson, and Clyde Caldwell. Easley's art contributed significantly to the success of TSR's Dungeons and Dragons role playing game in the 1980's and early 1990's.
During his more than two-decade tenure at TSR/Wizards of the Coast, Jeff painted many rulebook, boxed set, and module covers, including iconic Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (AD&D) core rule books. In addition, Jeff was responsible for many famous Dragonlance and Drizzt paintings.
Afer parting ways with WOTC in 2003, Jeff found himself freelancing once again, and is currently producing art for various companies and individuals.
