Artist Profile: Chris Bolden
As I do with most artists profiled here, I ask the simple question. Did this artist attend art school to help refine his instrinsic talent? The question so far is unanimously, yes!
Chris Bolden has been painting since 1990. Graduating from Pasadena Art Center College of Design in 1997 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration, he immediately began working and is currently an artist on the long-running animated television series The Simpsons. He first worked on the show as a background illustrator and designer, and more currently as a color-key artist. Sources of artistic inspiration for Chris come from painters such as: N.C.Wyeth, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent.
With the right training and portfolio, your opportunities in the art and design world are limitless.
