John Emanuel Shannon
John Emanuel Shannon was born in Sheffield, England, but 10 years ago he moved to the beautiful Islands of Malta. He is 33 and lives with his son Julian.
Having been introduced to Adobe Photoshop by a friend, John Shannon quickly became hooked and has been drawing since the age of 30. He is completely self-taught, learning as best as he can from various art magazines and books and from the many online tutorials available on the Internet.
Although he feels that he is a latecomer to the world of art, John has always had an interest in fantasy, especially the works of Tolkien and it is from there that he gets most of his inspiration. John is a huge fan of artists like John Howe and Alan Lee.
Shannon's ambition is to work as a freelance artist and perhaps one day have his own book on digitally created art.
His clients include:
Mystic Eye Games (cover art)
Misguided Games (interior art)
Cutters Guild Games (cover art)
The Mountain (t-shirt designs)
Tree-Free (greeting card designs)
