My name is Wayne Johnson, a Los Angeles native and graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena Ca. where I received my bachelors from the Illustration dept. I began doing Illustration mainly when I graduated for theme parks and recreation and slowly rolled into some editorial but frequently worked for TV doing promotional material, set design peices ads, commercials and posters.

Ive steadily been teaching throughout my illustration career for colleges like Otis in Santa Monica, Art Center College of Design, Brainstorm, Gnomon currently and a few private portfolio prep schools early on.
I started off thinking I would be a fine art painter for galleries and such but as the economy changed in the mid 2000’s so did my goals, I slowly began doing work for tv and recently animated series where I would like to pursue a career in character design. I consider myself someone who enjoys drawing and painting people the most, a traditional oil painter and a traditionally trained portrait artist but have also taught figurative, advanced drawing techniques, perspective and landscape painting in gouache.
Thank you for visiting.
