ABOUT

Avery Storms was born in Portland, Oregon and has since lived in Texas, Tennessee and Baltimore. As a youngster in a car seat, he spent long road trips filling sketchbooks with fantastical sagas inspired by Tolkien.

He graduated in 2018 from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in general fine arts with a focus on narrative illustration. His work has been featured in various shows and galleries, including the Dallas Museum of Art.

Storms received a 2017 Eisner Scholarship Award and tabled at the Society of Illustrators’ MoCCA Arts Festival with his original comic series, Ren300. Among his many projects, Storms is currently working with novelist Soul Singh Khalsa to adapt his novel trilogy, The Hennesy Saga, into a graphic novel series.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Avery Storms is a multidisciplinary artist with an illustrative foundation, focusing on visual narratives and sequential art. Whether through graphic novels, paintings or music, he creates layered works that reveal something new each time they are experienced. Storms’ paintings and illustrations draw from the freedom with which historical and contemporary styles are combined in comics. He embraces the coincidental and dichotomous, which contributes an undercurrent of humor in his work. His graphic novels favor expansive sagas utilizing the vast potential of the medium to develop immersive worlds.
