Starting from crude AD&D character sketches in 1980, Calkins has advanced to exhibit at a whole lot of SF/F convention, and a dozen awards for his work. He uses humor and the Greco-Roman tradition of beauty, often with a touch of erotica. He pioneered the use of people of various ethnicities as the basis for much of his fantasy work, "because not all elves and mermaids are from europe."
Calkins live in Southeastern New England with relative harmony with nature, with his daughter, Deanna, and Baldrick, his Ball Python.
