Since man's ambition is unlimited, since his pursuit and achievement of values is a lifelong process—and the higher the values, the harder the struggle—man needs a moment, an hour or some period of time in which he can experience the sense of his completed task, the sense of living in a universe where his values have been successfully achieved. It is like a moment of rest, a moment to gain fuel to move farther. Art gives him that fuel. Art gives him the experience of seeing the full, immediate, concrete reality of his distant goals.

—Ayn Rand, The Romanic Manifesto.

About the Artist

Craig Houghton is a self-taught artist available for fine-art commissions and illustration work. He also has a day job, but he has no social life — so, he's perfectly available for freelance concept art and illustration. Feel free to eat up his leisure time


He works across a number of mediums and styles, having specialized only in the understanding and expression of his subjects — this diversity allows him complete freedom to choose the style and medium appropriate to a given work. This work regularly includes watercolor, soft pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, oil paint, acrylics, egg tempera, ink, graphite, and digital artwork using a stylus and tablet.


For inspiration he looks to the works of Robert Tracy, David Leffel, Robert Vickrey, Carl Larsson and N.C. Wyeth. Beyond visual art, he enjoys fiction writing and philosophy. He currently lives in Connecticut.
