By Gavin Campbell



Jerry Lofaro is a very talented and well known illustrator and designer from the USA. He has produced work for well known design publications/companies and he has also worked for a host of reputable clients. He did however, have other opportunities and talents that could have taken him in a different direction altogether.

I came across Jerry Lofaro back in 2007 in a photoshop magazine. It was in fact a tutorial, guiding me through a technique using photoshop from a digital art perspective. I was extremely impressed with the intense detail and life like character of his piece. I later had the privilege of coming across his website and portfolio's on various sites across the internet.

In terms of accolades and awards, Jerry has received many in his career. He has been selected for 13 Society of Illustrator shows over the years, displaying his work in Art shows Expose, Applied Arts, Spectrum, plus a feature in the Encyclopedia of Airbrush Techniques. Journalists have done features on his work in the most reputable magazines, such as The New Yorker, Concord, Boston Globe, Advanced Photoshop and the Chicago Tribune.

At the 32nd Exhibition of the Society of Illustrators Jerry was awarded a medal, along with an award for the best advertising in 3 volumes of Spectrum. He has received lifetime achievement awards for his overall outstanding contribution to his chosen industry, along with awards for best digital work.

Jerry's visuals really do speak for themself, in terms of quality, passion, vibrance and sheer remarkable skill. In fact, his work has been filmed and documented on DVD tutorials, to give young illustrators an insight into his work ethic and practice.
