About

My name is Derek Temple and I am an illustrator and designer. 

As a child born in the 80’s and growing up in the 90’s, I grew up running around building forts in the woods with neighbor kids, watching Saturday Morning cartoons with a bowl of cereal in my lap, and loved all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, The Real Ghostbusters, and Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers. My childhood is what really shaped my creativity into what it is today.

I have always loved drawing and creating and knew it was something I had to do with my life. I graduated with a degree in Computer Art & Animation from Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida.

I currently live in Tampa, FL with my wife, Maria and our amazing dog, Bloo.
