Profile

CAM COLLINS 1999, USA. Illustrator, Printmaker, Character Designer, Concept Artist, Storyteller. Creator of COPPER ODYSSEY series. I've done a variety of cover arts for musicians [Manwolves, ARTHUR, Khary, Ravyn Lenae], and have featured works in press and galleries. This page is to document what those events were and more about where I've learned.

As for my work, I create detailed story events by illustrating them onto canvas with standard ink pens you could get from most places. I have fun doing this, and I like to think I am transcribing the stories that my own illustrations are telling me. It's a friendly relationship.
