Born in Los Angeles, Chris’ initial interest in the interplay between
art and architectural history began with a degree in Developmental
Economics from U.C. Berkeley. Desiring a more creative field, he
switched his focus from academics to art and went on to establish
himself as one of the county’s foremost illustrators. Although
completely self-taught, his art career has spanned all aspects of
illustration while specializing in the film industry, children’s
products and children’s books. A true renaissance man, along with a
degree in Economics and a successful art career, he has also
successfully written and directed an award winning short film, receiving
international recognition.
For the past 15 years, Chris has been widely considered one of Disney’s top illustrators for print advertising, specializing in Home Video packaging. His covers range from the award winning “The Lion King”, to the recent “Lilo and Stich” and everything in between. If you own one of Disney’s animated titles on VHS or DVD, Chris probably did the cover.
