Biography | |
Randy Susick comes from a commercial art background at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, with training in airbrush, pastels and painting. After graduation, Randy moved to Chicago where his creative processes have undergone profound changes. Having learned to give up control, he now relies on his spiritual guides to drive the process. A master of digital artistry, Randy has worked in Adobe Photoshop since 1991. His command of the program is demonstrated in his creations, which showcase his creative, photographic and design talents. His early love of the outdoors continues to influence and permeate his work. Randy S. Susick grew up in Van Voorhis, a rural coal-mining town of a few hundred people in the mountains of Southwestern Pennsylvania, just south of Pittsburgh. Despite few opportunities in the arts where he grew up, Randy's talent was recognized in a high school art class; with the support of his mother and sisters, Randy decided to pursue his calling. Looking back at his roots, Randy has found that many in his family have expressed themselves creatively through art, such as drawing, and in other ways related to their everyday life and surroundings. Randy worked as a photographic retoucher and airbrush artist in pre-computer days and as a graphic designer when the computer was just coming into the commercial work flow, in the early 90's. He now fine-tunes his skills daily as a consultant to the digital photography studio at Kraft Foods, a position he holds through Southern Graphics, a top tier prepress company. Randy feels lucky to be able to continue his study of color interaction, light and shadow both in the studio and in his work as a commercial artist.
