John Blumen Illustration

Introduction: John provides illustration for publishing, advertising or person. With an eclectic portfolio, John’s 35 year career in advertising and publishing reflects his wide range of expertise in the multi-faceted world of illustration and design. After decades of perfecting his techniques with traditional media, John chose to apply his creative knowledge and artistic insight to the discipline of digital illustration. This seamless transition, from canvas to computer, has yielded some of the most imaginative and thought-provoking imagery in John’s career. Though he makes frequent stops in the realms of fantasy and myth, John lives and works as a freelance illustrator in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His images grace the covers of books published by The Penguin Group, Llewellyn World Wide, Harcourt Publishing and Tor Books, along with a myriad of other publications and periodicals.
