| About: |
|
My name is Jon Reinfurt and I am a freelance illustrator! I originally grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey, in a small town called Glen Ridge. As a young kid I was always attracted to picture books and comics almost purely for the illustrations that accompanied the stories. I quickly became attached to all sorts of artists and really felt a strong connection with the imagination that went into the images they created. I became extremely inspired at an early age by the illustrators I followed, and I think somewhere down the line I wanted to have that same effect on the next generation of young artists.
When it was time for college I moved here to Philadelphia so that I could study illustration at the University of the Arts. I liked this city so much that after I graduated from UArts in 2002 I decided to stay in Philadelphia, which I now call home along with my wife Jenn and our cat Worm. I work out of a small studio packed with paintings, toys, art supplies, electronics, dvds, and stacks of magazines and paper clippings. Over the years I’ve worked with many clients, mostly in the editorial market, like AOL, American Airlines, NPR, The Utne Reader, and many more. I will also occasionally show my work in galleries, and I teach a class in the Illustration Department at the University of the Arts.
