Bill Carman was born in Seoul in South Korea and grew up in Northern California. He studied at Brigham Young University where he attained a Master of Fine Arts. Bill now teaches as a professor of art at Boise State University and still finds time for a career as a professional illustrator and fine artist. His work has gained him numerous awards, including gold and silver medals at the Society of Illustrators New York Annuals.
Bill Carman has worked as a designer, illustrator, and art director at universities, ad agencies, publishers, and large corporations. Since graduating with a BFA in visual communication/illustration and an MFA in painting he has always free-lanced and exhibited with ongoing national gallery representation in New York City, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Los Angeles. Currently a professor teaching illustration and drawing, Bill has greased enough palms to be included in annuals like the Society of Illustrators NY, receiving both gold and silver medals, Spectrum Fantastic Art, with gold and silver awards, 3x3, and American Illustration. He maintains a decent client list including: Random House Inc. (children’s book), LucasArts Entertainment, Macmillan, Group One, Quality Inn Hotels, Avid Publications, Atari, SSI, TSR Inc., SETI Institute, Brigham Young University, Cardinal Stritch University, Boise State University, Boise Weekly, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Arthritis Foundation, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Timpanogos Singer Songwriter Alliance, Utne Reader, Idaho Fish and Game, NPR, Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Boise Contemporary Theater, Opera Idaho, and Plan Sponsor Magazine. Bill never stops painting and drawing for exhibitions and occasionally still produces an illustration that lands a little off center.
