During my career as Professor of English Literature, I also followed my passion for drawing and painting. I took lessons where I lived and finally settled in Bethesda, MD. Retired from teaching in late 90's and dedicated myself entirely to painting, studying with various teachers and at the Compass Atelier program. Have been gallery represented, had exhibits and sold widely.
Derek Roper has dedicated his creativity and ingenuity to the cosmic mythos. The Mad Artist focuses much of his work on the mysteries of comic horror.
Some of his favorite classic cosmic horror stories include the Call of Cthulhu, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and the King in Yellow. Of course, there are many more! His passion for these stories and the mythos drive his creative processes.
Derek primarily works with digital art, but also has a passion for clay work and wood burning. He is always working with new mediums to portray his art.
