Dave Seeley
Dave Seeley creates highly collectible science fiction and fantasy illustrations for major entertainment franchises and publishing houses. Born in 1960, the Boston artist combines architectural training from Rice University with professional illustration expertise developed over decades of commercial practice. His covers for Star Wars publications, including the wraparound jacket for Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, demonstrate his ability to capture iconic fictional worlds. Seeley's client roster includes industry leaders Lucasfilm, Marvel, Sony, Microsoft, and Disney, establishing his work within popular culture's most valuable properties. He employs both cutting-edge digital techniques and traditional oil painting methods, often using Photoshop for initial development before applying painterly finishes. His art monograph "The Art of Dave Seeley," published in 2015, showcases his most significant commercial and personal works. Recent projects include multiple images for Sideshow Collectibles' Court of the Dead series, adding to his portfolio of collectible entertainment art. He is represented by select galleries across the United States including Abend Gallery.
