Welcome to my website! I'm Will Zolla, an artist, illustrator, and scientist passionate about creating. I was born and raised in East Boston, and the marshlands and beaches were the backyards the neighborhood boys and I would explore and call our own. I have always been surrounded by the sea and the rich maritime history of old New England, particularly the age of sail.

During my teenage years, I was fortunate to work on the City of Boston mural Crew, which further sparked my interest in representational art and illustration. But more than anything, my passion for fantasy art was fueled by my lifelong hobby of playing the trading card game Magic: the Gathering and the artbooks I'd find in the library. This love for fantasy art, my hometown, and its history has greatly influenced my art style and subject matter, most of all in my personal projects.

I have a story world I'm creating, the world of Tsadun, and a story to accompany it. It's still growing - something sprouting from the seeds of the high fantasy I love so much, planted in the compost of my life experiences, especially my love for the sea. There will be more to say about it in the future. As for now, you can glimpse that world through some of the art and background available on the site.

In addition to my career as a scientist in the biotech industry, I also enjoy exploring my artistic talents through various side hustles. I am an avid collector and seller of Magic: the Gathering cards, and I also take on illustration commissions, design my own TCG proxy cards, and create print-on-demand T-shirts and other products.

Thank you for visiting my website. I invite you to explore my art and illustrations, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or commission requests.
