Jeff Easley's lifelong interest in fantasy art painting led him from the blue hills of Kentucky to the lush valley of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where he joined the TSR staff.  That was more than thirteen years ago - and he's been following his dream ever since.  Easley earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Murray State University in 1976.  He is married and has four children.

Larry Elmore continues to bring the faces of the Heroes of the Lance to life as he has for more than a decade.  A key member of the original DRAGONLANCE® saga design team, Larry Elmore was instrumental in defining the distinctive DRAGONLANCE look that it has today.  When not exploring the world of Krynn Larry is at home in Kentucky.

Paul Jaquays has done much more than paint fantasy art.  He's also edited and written game modules for TSR and other companies.  Jaquays's work has appeared in numerous fantasy, science fiction and gaming magazines - including the first issue of DRAGON® MAGAZINE.  Jaquays has left TSR to live and work in Texas.

Todd Lockwood joined the TSR art staff in September 1996, after 16 years in advertising that he'd rather forget.  He credits nearly twenty years of AD&D® gaming for the preservation of his sanity.  His work has appeared around the gaming industry, as well as in Science Fiction Age, Realms of Fantasy, on the covers of Asimov, Analog and Spectrum magazine.  His wife and two daughters look at him curiously from time to time, but his son thinks his job is "way cool."

Don Clavette is better known to TSR by his DRAGON MAGAZINE covers.  Dragons of Chaos is his first piece for the DRAGONLANCE setting.  The muted tones and moodiness of the piece is a departure from his normally more brightly colored paintings.  He enjoyed working on it and hopes to do more in the future.  Clavette lives in Woodbury, Connecticut.

Keith Parkinson's five year stint with TSR produced a wide variety of art, from book and magazine covers to calendars, game boxes and module covers.  His numerous titles include DRAGONLANCE, FORGOTTEN REALMS®, GAMMA WORLD®, and AMAZING® STORIES.  Keith lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Mary and their two sons, Nick and Zach.
