Jason
Felix was born and raised in the frightening town
Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1973. From birth, Jason disliked
sports (which is a sin in Green Bay). He spent most
of his childhood in front of the TV. A steady dose
of Bugs Bunny, Robotech, Scooby-Doo, Voltron,
ThunderCats, Justice League, Land of the Lost, The
Three Stooges, Adam's Family, and The Munsters
were his favorite shows to watch as a young lad. In
between doses of TV, plenty of time was spent playing
'Kick the Can', 'Ding Dong Ditch', 'and 'Murder Ball'.
At
11 years old, Jason was a happy, spirited boy until
that fateful day when he watched Alien with
his father. Movies that soon followed included Conan:
The Barbarian, Blade Runner, Star Wars, and Clash
of the Titans and thus began his fascination with
fantasy, science fiction, monsters, and creatures.
Notebooks and spare scrapes of paper were filled with
tons of sketches. Soon after, he began to play Dungeons
and Dragons. Full of imagination, wonderful creatures
and character designs, Jason's obsession grew greater.
Comic books, "Choose your Adventure" books,
D&D modules, and art supplies were the only things
found in his room.
Soon
after graduating high school, Jason begun to attend
the University of Wisconsin-Stout as a Fine Arts major.
He finished three semesters before dropping out to
pursue a career as an illustrator.
At
the age of 19, Jason got his start as a freelance
artist working for White Wolf games, FASA, TSR, and
Wizards of the Coast. With over six years of experience
creating artwork for over 40+ books and novels, Jason
decided to relocate to San Francisco to pursue a full-time
career as a concept artist for film/TV/videogames.
Since
then, Jason has worked with numerious companies such
as Cartoon Network, Sony Imageworks, Disney TV, Nihilistic
Software, Mattel Interactive, and Broderbund Software.
