About Earl:Born in Dayton, Ohio, I found myself copying pictures of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, & pretty princesses around the age of 4. By the age of 11, I knew I wanted to be an artist more than anything, & was thrilled when I got an oil painting set with canvas & easel that year for Christmas. I promptly set to work copying a Botticelli “Madonna & Child.” After taking 3 years of graphic design at the University of Cincinnati & then getting a degree in English Literature, I took the long & winding road over the years through commercial illustration & fine art. While working at the Dayton Metro Library, I pursued my artistic goals, whenever possible, & now that I’m semi-retired, the pursuit is full time. As an illustrator, I have been employed by Alyson Publications, Leyland Publications, & My Friend children’s magazine, as well as literary & erotic magazines. |
As a fine artist, a partial list of solo & group exhibitions follow:Art by Librarians 1-7,
