In a world where publishers, studios, and art patrons are desperate for an illustrator, one man stands above the rest. Forged from a chemical mixture of pencil shavings, acrylic paint, and India ink, our hero possesses the strength, creativity, and dashing good looks to face any artistic quest foolish enough to face him. From pencilling panels and painting backgrounds to writing short third-person narration, our hero can be none other than…
Charlie Cronin.
I was born and raised in the Chicago area with a box of crayons and a dream and I've been chasing that dream ever since. My artistic pursuits led me to earn my BA in Studio Art and Communications from Santa Clara University and MFA in Sequential Art from The Savannah College of Art and Design. I've spent my career taking these lessons and others I've learned along the way to create an ever-growing portfolio of work focused on visual storytelling. I love being able to bring my passion for art, humor, action and story to my work in comics, animation, illustration, and painting.
I'm always excited to take on new projects, whether that means illustrating a book, boarding a scene, painting backgrounds for a series, or teaching students how to tell stories through art. If you need a storyteller who can move confidently across styles and mediums without ever losing the thread of the story itself, I would love to hear from you.
