Much of his time as a child was filled with imagining and drawing unearthly creatures and beasts, many of which have manifested themselves into Randys’ work as an adult.

Just prior to graduation from Northern Illinois University in 1994, rk post started freelancing the fantasy gaming industry doing interior illustration for several major game companies, gradually teaching himself how to paint with acrylics and eventually oils. rk garnered a staff illustration position at TSR (a company purnchased by Wizards of the Coast soon after) in the fall of 1996 painting cover illustrations for games and novels. WotC and rk have parted company in the winter of 2000 and now he doubles as a full time freelance illustrator still contracting occasional assignments through the subsidary of Hasbro, Inc., and as a 2D and 3D artist for Gas Powered Games. He currently works full time as a 3D environmental artist for Sony Online Entertainment.
