Ron Chan has been a prominent illustrator in the digital arts field since the invention of the term. He was one of the first artists to ever touch a drawing application from Adobe. Code-named Picasso, this program later became known as Illustrator. From then on, the computer was Ron’s artistic tool of choice and launched a distinguished career as a freelance illustrator, kicking off with greeting cards and extending into corporate and commercial graphics and magazine and book covers and features. While maintaining an impressive list of world-class corporate clients, he also finds time to share his knowledge with students at institutions worldwide.
