Lee Moyer is an American painter, illustrator, graphic designer, and web designer.

Biography

Early life and career

He worked for ten years as a Docent and Naturalist Illustrator at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.

He spent the early years of his career on the East Coast as Executive Producer at Digital Addiction and later an Art Director at Electronic Arts.

Moyer first worked with artist Michael Wm. Kaluta while working on a music video for the Alan Parsons Project's Don't Answer Me. In 2009, Kaluta and author Elaine Lee hired Moyer as colorist on their comic book series Starstruck. IDW released a remastered edition of the work that featured expanded art by Kaluta, and Moyer's new color art and designs. Moyer also colored the cover of the original cast recording Starstruck audio play CD from The AudioComics Company.

Gaming industry

Moyer produced Dungeons & Dragons interior art from 2004-2013, including: Eberron Campaign Setting, Stormwrack, Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Draconomicon, and Martial Power.

He worked with game designer Keith Baker on the board game "The Doom That Came To Atlantic City". The project was mired in production problems that resulted in a Federal Trade Commission investigation that became the first federal crowdfunding prosecution. The game was published by Cryptozoic Entertainment in July 2013.

Moyer was the lead illustrator for "13th Age" and its expansion "13 True Ways".

Notable works

Moyer painted The 2012 Literary Pin-Up Calendar for the charity Worldbuilders, which donates proceeds to Heifer International. It featured illustrations of classic authors. Another calendar was published in 2013 featuring modern fantasy authors. Moyer said that he enjoyed creating the works while "...riffing on the style of pin-up great George Petty."

In 2019, at the KEEP Contemporary Art Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, he helped create portraits of authors Seanan McGuire, Neil Gaiman, Octavia Butler, and N. K. Jemisin.
