Art By Christopharo

Christopharo is a fantasy artist who uses a variety of visual mediums from traditional and digital painting to multi-media. Since early childhood he has been inspired by dreams, fantasy, and a burning desire to be an artist. After graduating high school he soon realized the importance of taking a more disciplined plan of action toward a professional art career. This plan of action led him to pursue art studies at Mt. San Antonio College's Animation Program. His two-year course of basic to advanced art studies included the disciplines of critical thinking, creative writing, and computer fundamentals. Soon after completing this animation program, Christopharo was hired as Program Liaison for the Animation Program. He later went on to work at a Hollywood multi-studio location, where he worked on numerous animated shows such as Cisco & Ripple (for Starz Encore); and was also contracted as an illustrator for the movie The Shape of Things (for Working Title Films). In his spare time Christopharo fine-tuned his skills at various art schools, and received guidance and mentorship from master artists such as Mark Westermoe. Christopharo also gained experience in working with digital mediums, the art of storytelling, and visual dynamics into his work. Christopharo has continued as a freelance artist, with over a decade of relationships with companies such as NBCUniversal, MGA Entertainment, and Starz Encore Group. He is currently working on a new series of 3-D fantasy themes.
