My name is Jeff Powers. I am a freelance illustrator, writer, poet, and experiencer of the world.
Born in southern Texas, I have always had a passion for art, honing my skills as a draftsman and painter from a very young age. After living in Canada for 11 years, I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Lethbridge. After graduating from university and being forced to leave my home and adopted country behind. I set forth into the world to try my hand at surviving as an artist. It hasn't been easy. That being said, I have found a renewed passion in the the little things I love so much. My passion for reading, art, film and music grow to no end. Taking on the difficulties of life, I have found solace in my hobbies, the people I have come into contact in my life, and the bizarre chaos that is life.
Working as a freelance artist has given me opportunity to explore not only my own creative ideas, but the ideas of others. I have run the gamut from arduous business logo design, to multiple year commitments designing and drawing comics. Though I still seek the therapeutic solace of my own personal art, I have enjoyed finding the myriad of ways to bring others' ideas to life.
Jeff currently resides in Red Deer, Alberta with his partner Megan Brown. He runs Jeff Powers Illustration out of his home studio.
