A child of the 80’s, Josh cut his teeth on pop culture and spent his formative years glued to cartoons by the likes of Hanna-Barbera, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones, warbling out his own version of the Muppet Show theme song, and diving into the works of Mercer Mayer, Josh started to refine his artistic bent. Josh managed to land a youth scholarship to the prestigious Columbus College of Art & Design in the fifth grade, and he attended Saturday morning art classes throughout high school.

Josh returned to CCAD in 2005 and began his studies under the tutelage of many talented instructors including C.F. Payne, Andy Bawidamann and Dave Groff. While he was there, Josh was showcased in the 9th, 10th, and 11th Art of Illustration shows presented by CCAD. His incredibly cool “Over the Line” piece even brought home the C.F. Payne Judge’s Pick award at the 11th. Not only that, but Josh’s “Foo Fighters Poster” was exhibited in New York City at the annual Society of Illustrators Student Exhibition in the spring of 2008.

Josh’s time at CCAD ended in 2008, when they handed him his BFA in Illustration. Nowadays, he spends his time happily married to his beautiful wife, Mindy, gleefully changing Sammy’s diapers and playing “Go-Get-That-And-Quit-Barking” with his canine kids, Fred and Henry. He also spends every possible waking moment building his client list and doing what he does best, creating artwork.
