http://www.jamesbeveridge.com
Jim Beveridge was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and has been drawing for most of his life. His interest in SF/F began with suggested reading from his father, a chemical engineer, of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. He's been a devoted fan of speculative fiction ever since.
It was in high school that he dreamed about illustrating science fiction when he saw some of the covers by Frazetta , Di Fate and Freas. After doing some early comic work Jim switched to airbrushing vehicles due to the necessity of "making a living". Eventually he ended up in Edmonton, Alberta, freelancing on posters and album covers as well. He calls this period his "20 year apprenticeship".
It was in 1991, in his spare time, that he started illustrating short stories for On Spec Magazine. Working in publishing spawned his interest in the computer as an art tool. This has led to work in game and online design. After several nominations Jim won an Aurora for Artistic Achievement in 2002.
His first cover for a full length novel for Lisa Smedman's "The Apparition Trail" (Edge Pub.) was published in June 2004.
