Gen Con has announced the 2015 Artist Guest of Honor Tony DiTerlizzi.

Tony will host several events at the show, so make sure to check them out when Event Registration opens in May. When not hosting his events you will find Tony at his booth in the Art Show, located inside the Exhibit Hall. Stop by and say “hi!” Tony will join more than 80 of the world’s top fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and adventure artists at the 2015 Art Show. You can find a current list of attendees here.

In 1981, after watching The Dark Crystal and playing Dungeons & Dragons, 12-year-old Tony created a field guide on fantastical creatures. He would return to this premise many years later as the genesis for the multi-million bestselling chapter book series, The Spiderwick Chronicles. Eleven years later, Tony began working for TSR, where his art soon became synonymous with the Planescape RPG. Throughout the decade he also freelanced with White Wolf Games and Wizards of the Coast, where he painted cards for Magic: The Gathering.

This year marks the release of Realms: The Roleplaying Game Art of Tony DiTerlizzi (published by Dark Horse Books) – a first-ever collection of fantastic art from the start of a fantastic career.
