Brian Brinlee has been selected as Artist of the Month at Legend Bank. His work is on display at Legend Bank located at 502 North Center Street, Bonham, Texas. You can also stop by the Creative Arts Center located at 200 West 5th Street in Bonham to see more of his work. 

Brian has been working as a freelance illustrator since 2001. Like most artists, he grew up drawing on anything he could get his busy little hands on. During college at the University of North Texas, he pursued a degree in graphic art with disastrous results. Too late, he realized his brain just wasn’t wired for it. Being a storyteller since he was a kid, his heart and talents lay in illustration. He found creating a visual story more interesting than tooling around with graphic shapes and lines.

Brian started out working in comics, doing artwork for the Indie hit Sky Pirates of Valendor, but eventually expanded into other fields such as game art and book covers. Although the majority of his work these days is digital, he still likes to play with paints and brushes, squishing things around until they make a pretty picture.

Congratulations to Brian and thanks to Legend Bank for supporting our local artist.
