The artist Tom Baxa did a lot of stuff for the Earthdawn editions of FASA. For example the cover of the Blood Wood sourcebook and a lot of interior art for several Earthdawn books.

A few days ago I found out that The Gnomon Workshops featured Tom Baxa as an instructor on their new DVD. On the DVD he is creating an oil painting wherein he tells a lot about dynamic fantasy painting. A short preview of the DVD can be found on the page too.

Additionally he gave an interview to Gnomon Workshops which you can read HERE.
