Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my creations. My name is Zachary Weaver I am a self taught artist and have been drawing, painting, sculpting and creating for as long as I can remember. I am from a large family of eight. I'm the eldest of five adopted siblings. I home-school my younger siblings, teach them art, and also have an online art business. From a young age I have mainly focused on drawing and painting but have recently entered the world of photoshop, photo manipulation, and digital art.
Art and illustration are a way for me to express my love for nature, fantasy, and sci fi. When reading a book or story with interesting and captivating characters I can't help but imagine what those
characters would look like if brought to life . I try to take that image from my imagination and project it on paper in a way that turns fantasy into reality. The beauty and diversity I see in creation inspires me to create things that are out of this world.
