Here There Be Dragons

Rodrick Fuchs is a professional and freelance artist who has focused on automotive painting for nearly 20 years. The Canadian artist started by attending workshops of Dru Blair and Jennifer Janesko and took an apprenticeship at an airbrush shop in the US. His creative career evolved in the automotive art scene in Tenessee and North Carolina, USA.Today, Rodrick Fuchs owns Fuchs Art Studio in Edmonton, Canada, where he is also living with his family. In addition to custom paintings and classic images on canvas, he creates traditional sculptures, metal sculptures and wood carvings. Rod pri- marily designs fantastic creatures and subjects - these include dragons, wizards, fairies, grim reapers, grimace-faced Gothic gargoyles, and uni- corns and skulls. Considering his sketch book as a productive vessel for whatever frustration or aggression, Rodrick Fuchs has always seen his art as an exorcism of sorts without never depicting actual violence in his work. For him, a sketchbook is the single greatest asset to an artist. Drawing ability, originality and an immediate and unfiltered transference of an idea to paper are just some of the many benefits.Rodrick Fuchs is also passionate about giving advice to other artists and art enthusiasts. He has given many successful seminars in different coun- tries and is also teaching art classes for children.
