Chicago illustrator and painter Ennis Martin's passion for the sci-fi genre began at a young age. His parents introduced him to various films, books, and television shows that allowed him to foster curiosity and creativity. He is known for his iconic paintings of whales with feet and other sci-fi creatures and uses the same passion for sci-fi to create art that inspires younger generations to tell their own stories and share them with others. He works to inspire and test the limits of what we can create with our imaginations using sci-fi and fantasy. This is what his Chicago sounds like.
