Johnston, Peter: - Peter Johnston was born in Tooting, London, and was raised on a diet of military history, Greek mythology and comic books. His earliest drawings were strange reimaginings of the battle of Hastings with Normans fighting the Avengers. He studied visual art and printmaking in Wales, learning the traditional techniques of etching and mezzotint. He has now replaced the printing press with Photoshop and has been a digital artist for more than ten years, designing Steampunk, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy figures and scenes for books, games, and software.
