Chris Hyde

Chris Hyde was born in Newport Beach, CA., on December 25th, 1973. As soon as he could pick up a crayon, he was drawing monsters, dinosaurs, animals, and just about anything one could imagine.

As a child his family moved to a small rural town called Estacada, just outside of Portland, OR. There he grew up with lots of land and nature to explore, which further inspired his creative talents.

After High School, Chris moved to Portland to pursue his love of music and art. There he attended PNCA while performing in various rock bands, as well as perfecting his art skills in a variety of classes.

Later Chris discovered the world of digital art, and developed a passion for the new medium. He is currently working in his family’s beverage business, while spending much of his free

time strengthening his digital art skills and taking on various illustration projects.

When he’s not working or drawing, Chris enjoys exploring the world of science and technology, playing guitar, spending time with family and friends, and watching movies with his cat, Tart.
