The Art of Don Aguillo Freelance Illustration, Comic Artist, Concept Art, Commissions

Freelance Illustrator, Comic Artist & Concept Designer
15+ Years of experience in Traditional Art, Print Media, Production Design, and Pre-Visualization

Post Penn State University (Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors in Drawing and Painting), I focused in digital painting, concept art and production design through initial studio work and freelance projects. Through a host of early work in independ

ent endeavors that were privately funded, corporately funded, as well as crowdfunded, I expanded the avenues of my work into gaming, entertainment industry and eventually into mainstream comics, most notably through my work in my creator-owned series Rise (originally published by IH Studios & Scout Comics) and my cover work for Spawn (Published by Image Comics), working for Todd McFarlane Productions, DC Comics projects beginning with DC Pride 2023, and Marvel Licensed work for Upper Deck & Second Dinner. I draw from my experience of classic art through school, living and painting in Rome, Italy, industry work in Houston, Texas as a studio concept artist where I began my contract work, finally arriving in San Francisco, California in early 2010 which galvanized my path onto freelance illustration.

Next up: , an amalgamation of the 80’s film character Blade and , but why oh why is going so epically hard right now?! After 10 years not finishing this piece, I finally have my favorite part of this whole image, the inventor dwarf and that damn Cosmic Key. Brother and I still obsessed with that movie and watch it at least once a year. Painted him in the most ridiculously heroic pose I could, still cradling that thing away from Evil Lyn, since you know, he carried that movie too. I guess Langella and Foster did some particular heavy lifting too
