Randy Glass was still in high school when he became the youngest illustrator ever hired by Hallmark Cards. He later helped pay for his tuition to Ringling School of Art and Art Center College of Design by drawing “Main Street” portraits at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World…a surprisingly valuable education in discipline and patience.

By the mid-80s, Randy had built a solid reputation as a freelance artist, specializing in highly detailed representational drawing and painting - to this day all done by hand. While sometimes working in color, he developed a strong talent and preference for a simple black and white palette, quickly becoming a master of stipple - a graphic technique that uses a profusion of small dots to create an image. It’s a style favored by print media, where paper quality can adversely affect the reproduction of an image. By its very nature, stipple is ideal for the Web.
