Rowyn and Her Companion
Rowyn
Originally from the Catskills of New York, I have spent much of my life bouncing around from place to place—from Los Angeles to Orlando, Baton Rouge and, these days, Georgia. Somewhere along the way, I turned my lifelong love of art, storytelling, anime, comics, and all things nerdy into a career, spending the past decade working as a VFX artist for film and television. When I’m not helping bring someone else’s stories to life, I’m usually busy creating worlds of my own, making new artwork, or adding yet another idea to my longtime passion project, Among Gods.
Nearly ten years ago, I started creating Among Gods—a passion project that somehow took over a pretty significant portion of my brain. Since then, I’ve spent years building its world, developing its characters, and rewriting and redrawing things I swore were finished. As I’ve grown as an artist, Among Gods has grown with me, along with creating other works of art that I can share with everyone. It's been exciting to be able to turn this longtime dream into a reality.
When I’m not obsessing over fictional worlds of my own, I work as an artist in the VFX industry, where I’ve spent the past decade contributing to a variety of film and television projects. I’ve always been a huge nerd for art and storytelling in all its forms—from movies and comics to anime and anything else capable of sending me down a creative rabbit hole.
Outside of VFX, I spend much of the year traveling to conventions across the country, sharing and selling my artwork and meeting fellow artists, creators, collectors, and fans. There’s something pretty awesome about spending an entire weekend surrounded by people geeking out over art, comics, anime, movies, characters, and stories—and somehow calling that a completely normal weekend.
Whether it’s Among Gods, a new piece of artwork, or whatever creative rabbit hole I fall into next, I’m always making something. My art continues to grow and change right alongside me, fueled by countless sketches, late nights, and probably an unreasonable amount of caffeine. At the end of the day, I just love creating things that make people stop, look, feel something, or maybe get a little nerdy with me.
