FedEx Logistics: Character Concepts
Cartoons have always been a big part of Paul's life. Always drawing, his future was most likely determined when he won the poster contest in Mrs. Knispel's 5th grade class. Paul went on to pursue and conquer a degree in graphic design at Kent State University. While there, he was honored with a position in the infamous, student staffed Glyphics Studio. He also won several awards, including American Greetings Best Graphic Design Portfolio & NOVA's Cleveland's Art Focus poster contest, juried by internationally reknowned designer, Dietmar Wienkler. Later he would win a calendar contest sponsored by Pansophic and The Association for Multi-Image International's (AMI) Outstanding Achievement Award.
With cartoons in his heart and much prompting by his Mom and wife, Paul entered and won King Features' Syndicate and USA Weekend Magazine's Cartoonist of the 90's contest. He and co-winner, Glenn McCoy (The Duplex), spent a week in New York with many syndicated cartoonist's, including Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey). You can see some of Paul's comic work on this site.
