Paul McCall Cartoonist Iillustrator

I’ve been drawing since I was two, according to the family legend.

I began my career as a commercial artist in elementary school.
Each student had to take a turn at creating the bulletin board.
“Peanuts” and Charlie Brown were all the rage at the time
(early 60s) and I was the kid that could draw the characters
so I did their boards in exchange for their lunch money.

My professional work experience has encompassed book and
magazine illustration; computer graphics for audio/visual
presentation companies; production art for movies; fifteen years
as an airbrush artist creating science fiction and humor
illustrations; acrylic and oil painting; portraits and landscapes
plus teaching various forms of art. I have been a full-time
professional artist since 1977.

Currently I am keeping busy creating caricatures both live,
in party situations, plus commission gift caricatures.
While I still create art using conventional tools such as oil paints,
I spend a large portion of my business time creating art within
the computer, availing myself of the machine’s ability to mimic
the qualities of pen, paper and paint while adding the uniqueness
of the digital ability to quickly get client feedback via emailed
roughs and the deceptively easy ability to make changes without
having to restart from scratch.
