Earl Spent his young child and teen years in northern Ohio studying art with a local arts foundation. Trying to balance success with music and a love of art, he completed a two year graphic arts certificate program and later received a degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Earl was a very successfull designer for advertising agencies until he entered the United States military. During this time he used his art skills to design and paint custom wall murals and portraits.
Several years were spent refining his airbrush work by painting custom autos and motorcycles. His artwork was featured in several magazines and books and has won first place at an autorama. For a few years , he owned and operated a sign business until he took a road trip to discover the west. During this time, he was employed as a designer/illustrator at some of the largest full service advertising agencies and print shops in America. This enabled him to spread his wings as a designer and illustrator.
Earl relocated to northern California and became marketing director for a large corporation. He has since studied web design at The Art Institute of Pittsburg, Pa. and currently, Earl enjoys studying and painting realistic wildlife and nature artworks. He is writing a "How to Paint" fully illustrated book.
