Justin D. Russell
Artist | Professional

United States

I am a fantasy/faerie-tale/myth illustratour working out of the U.S. My interests are myth (specifically those belonging to the Northern European cultures of the ancient and medieval worlds), faerie-tales, folk tales, history, languages (specifically Gaelic, Old Norse, Old Welsh, Anglo Saxon, Inuit, Finnish, Old and Middle English, and those belonging further to the Ural Altaic family and Arabic), and the mythic tradition in relation to oral and written story-telling.

As a gamer, I spend a lot of time illustrating things for products used in published gaming material and for my own personal pet projects. If you are a gamer and interested in having classic and professional looking artwork for your game, check out my website at: www.justinrussellart.com and shoot me a line at epicwerkesstudio@gmail.com. I work in a variety of materials and specialize in a retro/classic gaming style with a personal touch.

Warmest regards and may your roads carry you safely home (once you've had a few adventures, of course )
