Mike Wimmer was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma and received his BFA from the University of Oklahoma. He had the opportunity to study with Don Punchatz at The Sketch Pad Studio in Arlington, Texas. Mike later completed his MFA at the University of Hartford in Hartford, Connecticut. Mike currently serves as the Chair of the School of Visual Arts in the Petree College of Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma City University. He currently lives in Edmond with his wife Jime, Art Educator at Edmond Memorial High School.
He has produced artwork for some of the largest corporations in the world, including Disney, Proctor and Gamble, RJR, Nabisco, and Kimberly Clark and has had the honor of painting the portraits of some of America’s most prestigious citizens. His work has recently been seen on packages of Celestial Seasons Teas and has painted some 300 covers for almost every major publisher in the United States.
Matthew Cook is one of the greatest reportage artists of today. Many clients turn to Matthew to capture ‘quintessential’ gems such as Wimbledon and Lords. Fairly early on in his career, and perhaps a significant contributor to these commissions, Matthew was commissioned by the Royal Mail to record events such as Royal Ascot, Henley Regatta, and The Highland Games into a set of five commemorative stamps and a book, The British Season, by Pavilion Books, which rapidly sold out its entire edition.
Working extensively for The Times, Matthew has been able to rapidly build a reputation as a real location illustrator. He has twice covered the General Election, has been sent to Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Korea for Conde Nast Traveller. He has a fearless enthusiasm for exciting location projects and has even anecdotally told of having to use urine to mix his paints when water supply was short in some of the more difficult terrains.
Clients include:
Boston Beer, The Times, The Spectator, Country Living, Harper Collins, Penguin, Pentagram US, Lords MCC, Monocle, Conde Nast, JKR/Phillias Fogg, Luminous/London Bridge.
John Taylor Dismukes & Associates is a full-service illustration and design studio based in southern California. Clients include some of the world’s leading agencies, motion picture studios, gaming companies, and national brands.
A graduate of the Art Center College of Design, John began his career as an illustrator in Hollywood, California for clients in the music and entertainment industries. His original airbrush paintings have graced the covers of numerous albums for rock legends such as The Grateful Dead, Megadeath, Foreigner, and Steppenwolf. Other early works include posters for Star Wars, Mad Max, The Addams Family, Jurassic Park, and many other blockbuster films.
Arthur Mount is an award-winning illustrator based in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Since 1995, his work has been published on a regular basis in the US and has appeared in publications around the world. In 2005, he received the D&AD Silver Pencil.
