About the Author

Carl Glassford has had an ink pen in his hand for years. From small studies to 24" x 32" landscapes, it has become a way of life to draw line art for print production, advertising, packaging, and fine art prints. It is just this variety of challenges that makes pen and ink drawing so interesting.

Carl's art training began with his grandfather, "Hap" Glassford, a tall, formal, retired Army general who had gone from hobbyist to a pretty good watercolor artists. His approach to life as an artist set the hook in the grandson that later produced a career in art.

Carl received a college scholarship from the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts and earned degrees in communication, design, and education. He spent some years as a designer/art director for Walt Disney Productions, and he then moved on to careers in pubic television, commercial art, and--with the influence of his grandfather guiding him--teaching. He is currently a professor of art at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California.
