Dave Dorman
Dave Dorman has been working as a professional artist since 1979 and has won the Eisner Award. Dorman is best known for his photo-realistic renderings of action and fantasy subjects.
Born in Michigan in 1958, Dave was the child of a military family he lived in various places growing up, including Washington DC, and the Azores.
After just two years of college, Dorman entered the Joe Kubert School of Comic Art. After one year he came to the realization that he would not learn the painting techniques that he was interested in, so he quit the school. With the loving support of his parents, Dave spent the next few years teaching himself his, now well-known, oil-painting style.
He has done artwork for comic, book, and game publishers, including The Batman for DC Comics and the Indiana Jones and Star Wars series' for Dark Horse Comics. In addition he has done a wide range of book and magazine covers and also has a book collection of his art, called Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman.
Some of his recent trading card art includes the Star Wars Galaxy sets, Universal Monsters' Incredible Shrinking Man subset, and a Robin subset in the Batman: Saga of the Dark Knight trading card series.
Dave Dorman's work is now available as a series of popular, limited edition, Star Wars lithographs from Rolling Thunder Graphics. His many continuing projects include the ongoing Young Jedi Knights and Han Solo series' of paperbacks.
