Bio from Larry’s website: I have been creating fantasy and science fiction art for over 20 years. I worked as a staff artist for TSR, Inc. from 1981 to 1987. While at TSR, I helped set the standards of gaming art in the role-playing genre. Besides creating covers for Dungeons & Dragons, AD&D and other gaming books, I may be best known for my work with the world of Dragonlance. Since 1987, I’ve been working as a freelance illustrator, doing covers for comics, computer games, magazines, fantasy and science fiction books and many more projects too numerous to list here.

Special Guest Fredd Gorham is gearing up for busy few years. Beyond his day job and outstanding support for local convention and charity organizations, he has recently taken on projects for Markosia Comics and Mil-Net for CAV. Look for several of these new projects to be available just in time for Nuke-Con.

Markosia is a independent comic book company publishing in the US and UK, with such titles as Smoke and Mirrors, Of Bitter Souls, and soon an adaptation of the book Heretic.

Fredd was approached by the Markosia’s North American representative Chuck Satterlee with several projects. Chuck was familiar with Fredd’s extensive comic book work and had recently been working with other member’s of the ShockTrauma Studio, completing the connection.

Fredd was hand picked to illustrate “No Other Gods” by authors Chuck Satterlee and Brian Augustyn, of DC Comics fame. This dark tale pits the religiously single minded government against a superhero, Apollo, who was granted his powers by the gods of Olympus. The story reflects the real world politics and propaganda machine, as the administration deals with the superhero they do not approve of. Look for this 4 book mini-series in February 2008.

King Kong- Kong, King of Skull Island, was the next Markosia project. Being a “Son of Kong” himself, Fredd jumped at the chance to work on the project. It is the prequel to the original King Kong movie and approved by the family of Merrian C. Cooper family. Fredd’s full page illustrations will be featured in the 6 book series. Look for this series to be available in September of this year.

At the same time, Fredd was approached by Thane Barnier, a long time acquaintance through Nuke-Con, to illustrate a series of PDF game modules being written by Mil-net for the CAV system of REAPER Miniatures. These CAV modules will be compiled into a published volume, scheduled to be released in Q4 2007.

Many thanks to the 2007 guests!
