Biography
Douglas Brown was born in Panama City, Panama in 1976. Soon after, he and his family moved to Austin, Texas where he currently resides and works. From an early age, Douglas showed an interest in art. His parents separated early on, leaving his Mother to maintain a household while raising two sons. This closeness with his Mother would be the foundation of Mr.Brown's interest in depicting strong women, a theme that is present throughout his work.
In 2001, Mr.Brown was commissioned by the City of Austin to do a mural for one of the Solid Waste Services building. With that project under his belt, he began painting murals for local businesses, and working with musicians to produce artwork for albums and music venues. While working with musicians was entertaining, the effort put forth was not worth the returns financially. Mr. Brown then taught himself computers and began work as a graphic designer at albumartist.com.
Currently Mr.Brown works as a storyboard artist, creating works for clients in the film and television industry, as well as illustrating children’s books. This is his first foray into developing a graphic novel. More of Mr. Brown's work can be seen at: douglasbrownartist.com
