Biography:
Brad W Foster is an illustrator, cartoonist, writer, publisher, and whatever other labels he can use to get him through the door! He's won the Fan Artist Hugo a few times, picked up a Chesley award, and turned a bit of self-publishing started over twenty five years ago into the Jabberwocky Graphix publishing empire. (Total number of employees: 2.) His strange drawings and cartoons have appeared in over two thousand publications, half of those science fiction fanzines, where he draws just for the fun of it. On a more professional level he has worked as an illustrator for various genre magazines and publishers, the better known among those being "Amazing Stories" and "Dragon". In comics he had his own series some years back, "The Mechthings", and he even got to play with the "big boys" of comics for a few years as the official "Big Background Artist" of Image Comic's "Shadowhawk". Known throughout the world (though most of the world doesn't know it yet) for his intricate pen and ink work, it is possible you've seen more of work in titles as varied as "Cat Fancy" , "Cavalier", or "Highlights for Children". Most recently he has completed covers for a couple of Yard Dog Press books, illustrations for magazines such as "Space & Time" and "Talebones", illustrations for the first of Carole Nelson Douglas' Cozy Noir Press books on Midnight Louie, and has even managed to work a dragon into the official poster for the 2003 Tulsa Oktoberfest! He spends huge sections of the year with his lovely wife Cindy showing and selling his artwork at festivals and conventions around the country.
