Jon Buckley's passion for art ignited early on, fueled by influences ranging from fine art to comics. Growing up near libraries stocked with rich collections on editorial illustration history only deepened his commitment. After studying at the University of Illinois and the American Academy of Art in Chicago, he earned his degree in Illustration, Design, and Communication. Throughout his professional journey, which included roles as Graphic Designer, Senior Media Designer, Design Director and Creative Director in various industries, Jon remained dedicated to his personal artwork and freelance endeavors. Now settled in South Carolina, he devotes himself full-time to both personal projects and freelance work.
