Larry Elmore, an internationally known artist resides in Leitchfield, Kentucky, with his wife, Betty and two children, Jennifer and Jeremy. In 1971, Larry received his BFA degree from Western Kentucky University, was drafted into the army, and was married - all within four months' time.

After the army in 1973, Larry began his career in art, working as an illustrator for the United States government. In the late 70's he was first published commercially in National Lampoon and Heavy Metal magazines. In 1981, he moved to Lake Geneva,WI, to become a cover artist for TSR, Inc. While at TSR, Larry played a key rolein developing a completely new look for the products. Because of this, Larry is one of the most widelyknown artists in this industry. His covers on the DRAGONLANCE series helped put thesebooks on the bestsellers lists. Because Larry and his wife wanted to move back to their hometown in Kentucky, Larry left TSR in the fall of 1987 and started working freelance. Since then, he has worked for adiversity of companies, from computer games to paperback publishers, including Bantam Books, BAEN Books, Warner Books, Ace/Berkley, Doubleday, and Del Rey. He has used a totally different style of art for companies such as Lucas Films,Western Publishing, LJN Toys, Tonka Toys, Mattel, Monogram Models, and Lindberg Models. He has also been published in the comic book industry by D.C. Comics and others. Larry continued to work in the role-playing game industry by doing projects for TSR Inc., FASA, Mayfair Games, Games Designer's Workshop, White Wolf, Iron Crown Enterprises, Dragon Magazine, Amazing Magazine, and several game-related products.Each year, Mr. Elmore is a guest at several Fantasy & Science Fiction conventions heldin the United States, and on some occasions, in Europe. He has met many fans from countries throughout Europe."I knew that my art was being published outside the United States but I had no idea of my popularity." His original paintings have been purchased by collectors throughout the UnitedStates and in Europe.

Since leaving TSR in 1987, the company and Mr. Elmore continued to keep a line of communications open, discussing the possibility of re-employment. After some months of discussion Larry and TSR came to an agreement, and in September 1993, Larry started working for TSR again while remaining in his home state of Kentucky. In January 1996, Larry discontinued his employment with TSR and returned to his careeras a freelance illustrator."The reason TSR and I had a parting of ways was pretty simple," Larry states, "they wanted me to move back to Wisconsin and I just couldn't do that...it's too cold up there!" He continues to do some freelance work for TSR."I have a lot of friends there and TSR has always treated me great, guess we'll always be connected in some ways!!"

"I will continue to produce limited edition prints and other products which I feel represent the best of my work."These may be purchased directly from Elmore Productions, Inc.
