My name is Derek Brown. Welcome to my online vision, and obsession, FantasyArtist.net. In this section I would like to introduce you to me.

  I am a 40 year old professional artist and musician living in Rome, GA • USA. Rome is home to the World's Largest Campus Berry College, and contains a large creative community (you would be amazed at the amount of musicians here). I was raised in the Morrison Campground / Dykes Creek Community. I started drawing at an early age. Art has always been in my blood and is at the very core of who and what I am. At the age of 5 my parents sent me to an evening class at Floyd Junior College, where I had my fist real art lessons. In my school career I won numerous awards from art shows, local businesses, organizations, and contests. In high school I was the first student in the long history of my school to be nominated for Governor's Honors in the State of Georgia. High school is also where I started playing guitar and writing music, which I have been doing avidly for 20+ years now. I am constantly recording music for many projects. After leaving High School in '86 I started doing art professionally. I have been doing it on or off on a local or national scale ever since then. It has been a career that has been very rewarding and full of drastic changes since the the computer revolution. I am single, I have a brother a sister and a great family. Most of my long time and current friends are either musicians or artist. I am currently working as a free lance artist.

    I am also trying to include a few new works as they come. I have always enjoyed doing art in the fantasy genre, it allows one's imagination free reign into the obscure, fantastic, and the frivolous, with no confines or limits. It is the one genre that allows you total freedom, something that is hard to come by in the modern era. This site includes some works that were created by me and my sometimes corroborator J. Morrow during the 1990's. I will include information on him later in the page.

  Born on Nov. 14, 1970 In a small town Langsdale, Alabama. Relocated to Rome, Georgia in 1985 and here I remain.

  I have been drawing Comic and Fantasy related art ever since I was able to pick up a pencil. I have always been a big fan of Comics, along with Fantasy and Sci-fi books. I was trained in art from the early age of 8 all the way through High School, although most of my skills are self taught. Some of my influences include Jack Kirby, John Bushema, Joe Kubert, Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, and (believe it or not) Norman Rockwell. I met Mr. Derek Brown around 1989. We started messing around with some sketches and the rest is history. My interest include Drawing, reading Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, and Sci-fi. I also enjoy playing Playstation and hanging out with my beautiful wife Heather, and my little boy (The Demolition Kid) Zach.
