About Alexander Gustafson

Alex is An Award Winning Illustrator, Concept Artist, Maquette Sculptor and Art Director. 

Growing up in the icy mountains of Vermont, he enjoyed drawing stories and playing Dungeons and Dragons to ward off the cold.  Alex also spent hours in those formative years admiring the works of modern masters like Todd Lockwood, Chris Van Allsburg, James Gurney, and Brom. All of this eventually compelled him to seek out a career in fantasy illustration, where he has the freedom to create worlds and tell stories with pictures.  The art he makes is meant to inspire  people to remember that their inner kid can come along for the ride into adult hood and to spark imagination and wonder in those who take time out to view them.

Alex graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008 with a Masters degree in Illustration, and continues to pursue his passion for fantasy, sci-fi, and steampunk.
