Addison's work is figurative, detailed, and focuses on atmosphere and character design. He began drawing from an early age and continued to spend countless hours illustrating his own narratives of fantastic heroes and devious villains. Through digital painting and pen and ink drawings Addison has been drawing guys in armor wielding swords since 1994, that’s 20 years! His childhood was split between Seattle and the San Juan Islands where the natural beauty furthered his inspiration to create art.

His work is strongly influenced by his love of mythology, comics, and epic fantasy. Addison has worked on storyboards for several short films, as a sign painter and designer, and his work has appeared on skim boards.

He is currently living in Portland, OR pursuing a career in the gaming and entertainment industry.
