Charles Keegan
Charles Keegan has painted covers for Tor, Meisha Marlin, Baen Books,
and Del Rey as well as poster and card art for AEG's "Doomtown" card
game, and drawn interior work for Larry Elmore's Sovereign Stone
roleplaying game manuals. Among his recent projects have been paintings
for works by Poul Anderson, and for Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time
series (both published by Tor), as well as interior work for Meisha
Merlin's limited edition publication of George R.R. Martin's A Game
of Thrones. This past summer Charles expanded his line of prints to
include selections from these works. Upcoming projects for Tor include
cover paintings for Fire Logic by Laurie Marks and Tides of
Darkness by Judith Tarr.
His paintings have been accepted into Spectrum: the Best in
Contemporary Fantastic Artfor the last four years running; the most
recent edition of Spectrum includes "Held by Honor,'" a piece
which won Best in Show at this past year's World Fantasy Convention in
Corpus Christi, Texas. Charles received a Judges Choice Award at the
1998 World Con Art Show and has been twice nominated for a Chesley
Award.
As a youth, Charles was stronly influenced by Edger Rice Burroughs and
Robert E. Howard. Years of martial arts training, fencing, modern dance,
and SCA fighting have given him an understanding of physical activity
that can't be gained on the drawing board. In January 1997 Charles
appeared fighting with live steel in the Discovery Channel documentary
Deadly Duels: Duelds of Chivalry with internationally recognized
edged-weapons expert Hank Reinhardt.
Trained at the National Academy of Design and Art Students League of New
York, he lives in Atlanta with his wife, Heather.
