A professional
illustrator and designer with over 25 years of experience, Jorge
Farfan always had a natural creative ability. His
accomplishments began at an early age, where he was awarded
class artist from grade school through high school. During this
time he also held his first solo art show. Graduating from The
Fashion Institute of Technology with honors, he was the
inaugural recipient of the Fantasy Illustration Award.
Approached by both Disney and Marvel while still at FIT, his
love for the comics medium drove him to Marvel where he studied
under Don Daley.
His
curiosity with the workings of the creative process then led
him through a variety of industries and disciplines, from
graphic design and illustration to art directing and studio
management. He has spent years mastering his craft, creating
licensed character art, book covers, portraiture,
storyboards, concept art and movie posters. He has been
involved in projects for some of the leading advertising,
comic and film companies including McCann, Grey, Marvel, DC,
Dark Horse, Disney, Lucasfilm, Dreamworks, Universal and
Saban.
He is now
shifting his focus to conceptual realism and fantasy art,
working towards a synergistic union of the two disciplines.
This is an exciting time for Jorge, as he enters the next
phase of his creative journey.
