ComiCon 04
By the time you read this update, I will be in San Diego for ComiCon 2004! I can't wait to meet new friends and reunite with old ones, and maybe share some artwork in the process. There's been quite a bit of reorganization, with some things moving around. You'll find new artwork in the Dungeon / Polyhedron section, as well as new artwork in the Star Wars Polyhedron section. I have a lot of cool stuff in the works, and I'm looking forward to the coming show. See you all in San Diego!
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to one and all! I would like to welcome everyone back for the beginning of a year that is sure to bring great things. To start you off, we have a major update! Check out the Concept Design gallery for new pieces in the Characters, Creatures, Environments, and Technology sections. Also head on over to the Illustration gallery for new pieces from The Demonskar Legacy article in Dungeon 104 and Racing the Snake in Dungeon 105. Take care and enjoy 2004!
Gencon Thanks
First off, many thanks to everyone that stopped by to see me and Lisa at GenCon. We all had a great time. Many friendships were strengthened and many new ones formed.
Secondly, we have some new artwork for you today from the Zenith Trajectory article in Dungeon 102 and The Iron Lords of Jupiter in Polyhedron 160. Due to the different nature of the publications, we decided to split the current gallery into two separate sections.
About Jeff
Born in the town of Shelby, OH (Birthplace of the seamless tube industry in America), Jeff Carlisle grew up in the bustling metropolis of Columbus, OH. There, he attended public school without being shot or stabbed and continued his education at the prestigious Columbus College of Art and Design, to whom he swears he will pay back his tuition.
A year or so after graduating from Art School, Jeff submitted art to the Star Wars fan site TheForce.Net, which resulted in a dedicated fan art gallery there and enough courage to actually talk to his peers. In the year 2000, A chance meeting with acclaimed fantasy artist and children's book author Tony DiTerlizzi resulted in a new friendship for both and persistent nagging from DiTerlizzi to "get in the game," which led to the 2000 GenCon game fair, which led to his first industry job: programming Binary Load-Lifters, er, drawing Starships, Droids and Aliens for Star Wars Gamer magazine.
After moving for a short time to San Diego California to work on a video game, Jeff returned to Columbus -- where he lives with his wife, Lisa.
After nearly 20 years of freelance illustration and concept design, he has worked with a number of clients including: Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG), COSI Studios, Decipher, Goodman Games/Sword and Sorcery, Green Ronin Publishing, Lucasfilm Ltd., Paizo Publishing, Poop House Reilly, Presto Studios/Microsoft Game Studios, The Scarefactory, Inc., Topps and Wizards of the Coast.
Now, people actually pay him to do what he does for free on his own time, but don't tell anyone--that's a secret.
