About
C.J. Bloomer was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of South-Western Virginia where he encountered the fantastic in everyday life. Intent on becoming a professional artist and illustrator, Mr. Bloomer apprenticed under the infamous Charles Vess at Green Man Press while attending college in Berea, Kentucky. Gaining an education in traditional art through various methods, he graduated with a degree in Studio Art. He now resides in downtown Lexington, Kentucky with his lovely wife Traci Bray and the odd feline Greenbean creating fantastical art and illustration from his own working studio: Nydwyn Green Dragon Studio.
