TRAVIS LOUIE
I was born in Queens, NY, about a mile from the site of the "1964 World's Fair". Most of my early childhood was spent watching "Atomic-age" Sci-Fi, and Horror pictures. My first drawings were of Godzilla and a host of creatures from Ray Harryhausen films. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I decided that I wanted to do artwork for a living. After graduating from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Communication Design(Illustration Dept.), I did freelance for about 10 years, until I decided that I should concentrate on my own personal work. My artwork is heavily influenced by those genre films that I watched as a child, as well as my fascination with human oddities, sideshows, and things otherworldly.
