Let me introduce myself. My name is John Banner, and I live in Tempe, Arizona. By day, I am a lowly cable guy. I work for a sub contractor of one of the major cable companies here in the area. My job is rather technical, dealing with machines, technology and all of the modern conveniences that make the 24/7 media world of 2013 function. I enjoy what I do, and I have to admit that I am quite good at it. By night I am a budding CFI. For those of you who don't know a CFI is a "Certified Flight Instructor". Currently I am studying to become a CFI. Aviation is my passion! I have wanted to fly since I was 6. I became a pilot when I was 23, and I became a Commercial pilot several years ago. I have never worked in the world of aviation. I fly because I love to fly, not to make money. And by becoming a flight instructor I hope to someday pass on my love of aviation to other. But I also have another passion, and that is Fantasy Art. I enjoy finding new fantasy artist, I enjoy creating fantasy art (I draw and I paint), and I am also creative in Fantasy Photography. This blog is about my passion for Fantasy Art. My love of Fantasy Art lets me step away from my "technical" side and fully embrace and explore my "creative" side. I hope to inspire, showcase, and lead others through the world of fantastic Fantasy Art in the posts to come. I welcome any questions, comments, or general muses about what I post here.
Ok, let's get the basics out of the way about me. I'm 47 years old, I'm Black, and I consider myself to be a very well rounded person. I guess you would have to say that someone who can deal in the technical areas of life as well as the creative areas of live is well rounded.I have loved fantasy art for a very long time. Honestly, I'm not even certain where this love came from. But I know that I have it, and I embrace it!
Ok, let me start off by showing you some of my top 4 fantasy artists. In order I would have to say that they are Boris Vallejo, Chris Achilleos, Rowena Morril, and Don Maitz. Here are examples of their work:
 |
| Boris Vallejo |

| Chris Achilleos |

| Rowena Morril |

| Don Maitz |
These are just some of the masters. In this blog I am going to try and find and show off unnown and budding fantasy artsts that I enjoy. Also, I will probably tell you a little bit of my life on the way. I hope you enjoy what you read. I am always open to another persons opinions, even if it is to learn an opposite point of view. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Patrick
