I am Sam Hearn, and the artist known as Ziddius. I always had a passion for storytelling and the characters within them. I couldn't picture them, so I decided I would learn to draw, and bring them to life. 

I started drawing regularly as a passion when I was around ten, and kept at it through my time in the army. I received my bachelors degree with honors, from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, in game art and design. I began painting digitally almost exclusively after college, and have been doing commissions and personal work since then. Although I have customers, I would love to work full time in the industry and learn more about the business side of things.
