About The Artist:
Jorge is a dreamer
and a visionary and has
been since he was a child.
Armed with an unbridled
passion for the arts, he plans
to one day teach art at the
collegiate level. Jorge is a fine artist,
specializing in illustration, editorial,
advertising, children's book illustration,
and video game concept art. As you will see
from the works featured in his portfolio, Jorge works in
an array of mediums, with a focus on digital illustration and airbrush art.
As an artist, Jorge was highly influenced by his experience at The High School of Art and Design in New York City. Teachers at this school were leaders in their fields, and their hard work, patience, and skill were, at the time, intimidating to Jorge. Later on in life, Jorge realized that the highly demanding rigors of that specialized high school, coupled with the extreme competitiveness among the faithful student body, had sharpened his artistic abilities as iron sharpens iron.
Jorge went on to study Communications at The College of Staten Island, CUNY, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree and cum laude honors. He later attended the City College of New York, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with cum laude honors and then his MFA in Illustration and MA in Concept Art for Video Games at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
