About Me
David Deen spent his childhood reading
fantasy books and coloring the pictures in
his brothers’ D&D books while he listened to
them arguing over character classes and
saving rolls and magic missiles. He doesn’t
know what those are; he was too busy
coloring owlbears and nagas.
Later he turned that experience into a BA in
Art before working for years as a computer
game artist on games such as Age of
Empires (I and II), Railroad Tycoon, and
Tropico.
He then quit to go freelance, working in the
fantasy and science fiction market for years
before realizing that his true passion was in
children’s literature. Now he makes illustrations for children’s books, pets his cats, and
spends time with his wife and two boys.
He still reads fantasy books, so some things never change.
David is open for commissions and seeking representation. Please email
art@daviddeen.com with any inquiries, questions, concerns, amusing anecdotes, etc.
