WORK SHOWCASE: Curt Walstead

This week, the Directory of Illustration highlights work from Curt Walstead, represented by António Adrião Artist Representative (AAARep).

Illustrator: Curt Walstead

Project: Beer Garden

Agent: AAA Rep

FROM THE ARTIST: My client requested a poster depicting various beers in a fun imaginative way. I chose a more literal interpretation of a beer garden featuring beers growing in their natural state with a humming bird enjoying their “sweet nectar.” 

ABOUT THE ARTIST:  I grew up in the small rural community of Merced located in central California. After initially receiving a degree in biology, I made the decision to direct my attention to art and earned a BFA degree in illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. I currently reside with my family in Westlake Village, California where I work as an animation storyboard artist and illustrator for over twenty years. During that time I had the opportunity to illustrate numerous children’s books and work on many of today’s popular children’s shows such as Dragon Tales, Men In Black, Baby Looney Tunes, Clifford’s Puppy Days, Loonatics Unleashed, Dora The Explorer, and Go Diego Go.
