About the Author

Tyler Jacobson graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2009 with an MFA in Illustration. There he learned everything he knows from such greats as Bill Maughan, Lisa Berrett, Stephen Player, Randy Berrett, Chuck Pyle, Tim Evatt, Zhaoming Wu and many more great instructors and professional artists. Soon after graduation, he began working for Wizards of the Coast and was honoured to be approached by Richard Solomon in New York City for representation.

When he can find free time, Tyler tends to obsess over movies and anything concerning filmmaking. He also practices HEMA as much as he can. His clients include Wizards of the Coast, Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Paizo Publishing, Applibot Inc., Simon & Schuster, Barats and Bereta, NBC, Texas Monthly, The Weekly Standard, Konami, The Penguin Group, Rolling Stone Magazine, Toyota, Men's Journal, Tor Books, Scientific American, Entertainment Weekly, The New Yorker and Sports Illustrated.

John Fleskes has written, designed and edited dozens of art books in the comic, illustration and fine art genres. He is the publisher of Flesk Publications.
