Artist Profile for Ogmios

Greetings! Thank you for checking out my art website.

I've always dreamed of being an artist from a very young age, inspired by greats like Frazetta, Giger, Lee and Easly . I grew up with a love for Myth, Monsters, Super Hero and Conan Comics, D&D and Sci-Fi. It's been a long road since then. Through all of the projects, businesses and jobs I've been involved with, my passion for art has never dwindled. It is a passion I have worked hard to follow. Now I get to create art for book covers, comics and games.

I live in the wooded, high-hills of Rhode Island with my wife and the apples of my eyes, my two kids Tara and Alexander.

My art and stories weild my passions and visoins. And it is always my great honor when that vision conveys something to others.

Slainte!
