Rory Kurtz began his career in illustration at his fiancées insistence, after working for several years as a freelance photographer. The sketches he would create of ideas for photography shoots caught her eye, and she suggested that Kurtz should spend more timing drawing and developing that skill. Thank goodness for us that he followed her advice!

'Rory Kurtz has been illustrating since he was old enough to hold a crayon.  Self-taught and focusing in pencil, ink, and digital paint, Rory has carved out his niche as a unique voice in the illustration community.  He tends to shift from one style to the next and back again, but the individual pieces seem unified by a shared sense of fantasy in a modern reality.'
