About the artists
John and Laura Lakey began their careers as book and magazine illustrators nearly 40 years ago. During that time, they contributed literally thousands of pieces of published art that have run the full gamut from sports magazines to science fiction, fantasy, comic strips, kids’ books and products, and graphic stories. However, they are probably best known as one of the major contributors to the golden age of Dungeons and Dragons.
Aside from working freelance, John has served as an Art Director, Special Project Director, Writer/screenwriter, Creative Director, and finally as a pre Production Designer for Fox Feature Animation.
Laura has won many awards for her solo illustration and fine arts work. She has displayed her western-themed oil paintings in several galleries and is currently finishing a series of colorful retro cowgirl pieces that are an homage to her illustration roots.
Together, the Lakeys have raised 2 1⁄2 children, and 3 and 2⁄3 dogs!
