The Write Stuff Literacy Campaign welcomes the talents of Carlos "CJ"Claudio to the project. He is a respected illustrator that will be designing the book cover for the winner of The Write Stuff competition. Find out more about him below!
"Art has been my passion since I was little. My mom always encouraged me to pursue it, and along with my teachers throughout my school years, helped me recognize my talent. There is sometimes an indescribable joy when I pursue an idea…whether it be a sketch, a finished illustration, a design, a painting, or any other form of expression.
"First, I wanted to be an architect. Then I started to learn the process of animation; I used to make very crude flipbooks. Later, when I took interest in comic books, I learned how to draw people fairly realistically and dove into the world of fantasy and superheroes. To this day, though I have many different ideas and different outlets, my passion still lies a visual representation of an idea or emotion. I recognize how anyone can relate to someone they don't know through their art, and so I expand my circle of interest to include helping others express themselves by way of illustrating for them.
"At the same time, I remain versatile enough to lend my design talents to businesses, learning how to best reflect their message artistically in order to help brand their business and passions. Art, in its many forms, is simply how I choose to relay my message as well that of others. " artist/illustrator Carlos "CJ" Claudio, www.cjclaudio.yolasite.com
