Get to Know The Artist!
My name is Logan Maxon and I live in the frozen North (Bismarck, North Dakota) and I sit at my computer with warm coffee and a blanket while making art. I am a 2D digital artist and make most of my masterpieces in Photoshop. I've lived in Bismarck for all of my life and I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My father is an artist and after finding a stash of his old art from his younger days, I decided that I wanted to try and be better than he was.
I generally illustrate works of fantasy, but I keep my mind open and try new things. I went to college at United Tribes Technical College and that's where I discovered my love for digital art. I took a semester class that introduced me to digital art, I knew about it beforehand because I had numerous Warcraft art books and I was always mesmerized by the pieces inside them. I graduated from Tribes with an Associates in Graphic Design and dreams of being a Fantasy Illustrator. Nowadays, I keep a part time job and work freelance on the side while building my portfolio.
