Fantasy can be categorized as anything that is the pure magic of our souls, the pure thickness of our dreams...

Introduction
We started World Of Fantasy Magazine out of pure love for fantasy. From the early days of reading dragon novels and authors such as Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov, we have developed a sixth sense. We can detect fantasy in any form. From the pure, delicious novels to the hidden fantasies that are surrounded around the world. If we didn't have this love for fantasy then we wouldn't be making this magazine. It took many great writers and excellent artists to put this together. Being an artist and a writer myself, it was difficult to choose people who would produce high-quality stories and pieces of art. I had a few to choose from. Naturally I first went to Johnathan Graves who is a good friend of mine. He is an excellent writer and we have written many short stories. As we write them we always let the other kind of critique it. Johnathan is a great writer an writes modern fantasy.
Next I went to Kyle Danner. He is an excellent artist and he carries a wild imagination in his pocket (Don't worry, he has it on a chain so it can't get loose). He does excellent Japanese paper-cuts and can produce art with detail and smoothness.
Sam Johansen is also a great artist. Sam and I previously worked on Maverick Comics which never really got off the ground. He has a love for fantasy just like his dad, who is an art teacher. He has many drawings in his sketchbooks and can do anything from detailed drawings to styrofoam sculptures. I like his style of work because he pours his heart and soul into it to make it the best it can be. "How much you put in a piece of artwork determines how much comes out of it."
Jonathan Sisk is also a great writer and he doesn't write all that often. He only offers his service if the assignment is great. He doesn't accept anything mediocre. Johnathan Sisk writes dark fantasy and he is very talented.
Those are the main people that you will be seeing throughout the magazine. I will be doing a lot of the writing and a bit of the art, but Sam and Kyle will do most of it. These people I have just listed are pretty much some of the best artists and writers that are in the business. I hope that these people will keep at it and help produce a great magazine that will hopefully oneday become one of the greatest fantasy magazines ever published.
