MICHAEL CHITTOCK
Introduction
By the age of eleven Michael started copying images from comic books but soon migrated to drawing monsters and fanciful creatures from his imagination, rather poorly at first, but he persevered with dedication and enthusiasm.
Time passed, by High School he was working with oil paint producing landscape and animal paintings, often copied with increasing skill from magazines such as National Geographic.
1980 he moved to Tucson AZ, worked various jobs but always produced art. 1985 started a BFA degree at the University of Arizona.
The four years he dedicated to his BFA proved pivotal for the development of his art. Introduction to modern art dramatically influenced the style and development of his creative process. He met other students all struggling to find their artistic voice, a few of these peers would become lifelong friends.
