Larry with Gwaihir 800 x 600 The Very Last Picture Taken from the Lord of the Rings work Katrina Packing 287 x 353 Hey Larry! Caught while loading supplies for the first hurricane run. Larry is an accomplished race car driver, storm-spotter, volunteer firefighter, world traveler, wildlife rehabilitator and aviculturist, occasional movie consultant/special effects man, model maker and internet veteran. As a birds-of-prey rehabilitation specialist, he and his wife Misty have gotten over four hundred hawks, owls, falcons and corbies back into the wild. Larry Dixon is a classically trained artist with a diverse and adventurous history. Son of a Delta Force career commando and an Oklahoman farmgirl, Larry grew up in many American and European settings, usually haunting the local art museums and hobby stores. At age 9 he bought his first typewriter. Educated at the North Carolina School of the Arts during High School, and then at the Savannah College of Art and Design, his story work became as popular as his artwork. Many novels have followed, including the ever-popular Gryphon series, the Winds Storms, SERRAted Edge, and Owl books with the mighty Mercedes (Misty) Lackey. He has been a roleplaying games buff since the 1970's, and has illustrated or helped design many RPGs. Larry loves standup comedy; genre movies; subcultures; aikido; storms; design; SF TV; odd cars (he owns many, and a few even run); his hawks, cockatoos and owls; International Rally and American LeMans Series racing, dirty jokes; club/trance/electronica music; and just plain making people feel good about themselves. Larry feels equally comfortable around generals, rock stars, fans, firefighters, victims, cops, media and movie makers because, hey, he's an Okie. Larry's work is in almost a dozen languages and millions of copies in print, and he's been a Guest at over 210 conventions worldwide. BUT---he's available for work, don't be bashful about asking. He isn't ALWAYS off on some adventure. Be bold! gryphonking@gmail.com is a good way to get to him. At Hallet 600 x 376 Larry in a Spec Racer Ahhh! Helmet Hair!
