He was influenced as a child by Norman Rockwell and Dr. Seuss. He earned a degree in graphic design from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 1992.

He began working as a freelance illustrator for TSR’s Dungeons & Dragons role- playing game after college.

DiTerlizzi cites a variety of artists including Norman Rockwell and Dr. Seuss as major creative influences. “Many good fantasy artists will tell you their influences are Frazetta or Boris Vallejo. Realizing this, I went for more diverse influences, since it seemed to me that most current fantasy work has that same oil-painted feel.” DiTerlizzi was influenced by artists such as Hieronymus Bosch and Leonardo da Vinci to early 1900s magazine artists (Maxfield Parrish, Heinrich Kley) to classic children’s book illustrators (Arthur Rackham, Ernest Shepard, John Tenniel) to offbeat modern fantasy artists (Brian Froud, Moebius, William Stout, Jim Henson). Another inspiration was David Trampier, who illustrated much of AD&D’s first Monster Manual, which DiTerlizzi recalled as his favorite book as a child: “I would copy Trampier’s drawings over and over.” DiTerlizzi was a fan of role-playing game art long before entering the field.
