Mike Gorman

Since graduating in 1992 with a BFA in Illustration from Parsons School of Design, I have been working steadily for some of the most prestigious publications in the country (see client list below).

I am known by my art directors for being very fast, and always up for work. I work in a wide range of styles and mediums, depending on the task at hand.

While best known as an editorial illustrator, I have worked in many different facets of the industry, including: advertising, animation, and tattooing.
