About:
Welcome! My name is Maxwell Green!
I am a freelance illustrator currently living in the Pacific Northwest. I predominantly work in character, environment, and prop design for video games and tabletop RPGs. Prior to moving west and transitioning to illustration full time, I worked as an art teacher in the public school system and traditional painter in the Midwest. When not doing illustration work, I enjoy eating various forms of potatoes, hiking, climbing, biking, world building, DND, comics, experimenting with traditional media, and exploring with My partner and our pup, Zuri.
