Designer - Book Cover

Facebook-f Instagram Twitter Youtube

Peter Burroughs was born and raised in Bowling Green, Ohio. He is an illustrator/concept artist who designed the Forbidden Shadows’s book cover. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Media and Information, minoring in Game Design from Michigan State University. Burroughs pursued illustration and concept art because he enjoys visualizing worlds we can’t experience in everyday life. He is someone who needs to be creating daily, and when digital art meets design, it becomes a wonderful mix of expression and problem-solving for him. When not on a screen, he enjoys bookbinding and traveling to new places, and his adventures have taken him from across the US to countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. He has an affinity for rocks, trees, and bees and aims to leave people and places a little better than when he found them.

Avery Molek hails from Pittsburgh, Pa and absolutely LOVES drumming. He has been playing since he was two years old. He also plays piano, guitar, and bass. Molek plays all music styles, and learns other fundamentals to help him improve. He can read sheet music, but he mostly plays-by-ear. Molek has appeared on Good Morning America and performed with Brad Paisley when he was six-years-old. In August 2014, Eric Singer, the drummer for his all-time favorite band, KISS, invited Molek to be his guest at their concert. He had the opportunity to hang backstage with the band and attend their pre-concert V.I.P. acoustic show. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Molek’s dream came true when he was asked to get on stage and perform “Love Gun” with the band. Molek’s performance can be found on his website along with 300+ videos of him rockin’ out to the classics.
