Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Claudio Ghirardo is a multi-disciplinary visual artist, contemporary figurative painter and illustrator. He’s a a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon & Graphic Art and has been a freelance illustrator and gallery artist for many years. Claudio uses traditional art forms, such as painting and drawing, to explore streams of consciousness, narrative, process, and people. He’s mainly a self-taught artist having spent years studying works of the modern masters, and many of today’s contemporary artists, infusing that with many years of reading comics, watching cartoons, and looking at fantasy and science-fiction illustrations. His latest projects are Huibert: The Most Underrated Hero to Hire and Comics DaDa.
