About Monte Moore

I have had my dream job for over 20 years working in the industries I love.  They say you never really work, if you love your job, but I work tirelessly to achieve my goals in an ever competitive industry, and I love every minute of it.  Along the way I've been the 2 Time Winner of the World Fantasy Art Show for Best Black and White Artwort and seen my work featured in Heavy Metal Magazine, Dragon Magazine, Time, Newsweek and many others.  My work has been sought by a wide variety of clients, and been published in 7 art books exclusively featuring my creations.  I've been fortunate to be asked to be a Guest of Honor artist at the world's largest venues including the 2001 San Diego Comic-Con Intl and 2006 and 2008 Lucca Comics and Games event, the largest in the world.  As a young artist I looked to my heroes like Elmore, Easley, Parkinson, Olivia and Sorayama, but I never thought that many would ever look at me as a peer, let alone a friend, and that is itself a dream come true.  As one of the few illustrators I know still using a traditional airbrush, I more recently feel it's my duty to carry on traditions (Vargas, Petty, etc)  with this unique tool and show its abilities when many feel it's been replaced by today's digital mediums.
