CBjork

I'm a self taught artist since I was age 7, drawing, painting, and ceramics. As a teen, I entered and won several art competitions.

In my early 20's I worked for a few top selling Beanie Baby magazines, and got world wide recognition for my beanie baby artwork.

I studied at Academy Of Entertainment And Technology in Santa Monica for Animation and Illustration.

In 2003 I began selling my paintings online, many landscapes, background scenery, City-scapes, Hawaiian seascapes, Florals, and fish, and created and sold over 2600 of those original paintings worldwide.

I am a Full time artist of Southern California since 2003.

2020  I am working on character development, for upcoming paintings.  Back to my roots.  My artistic adventures began with
characters, shown below is an example of some of them.  
Now in 2021, I am working on my Fantasy series of paintings, mostly using the Public Domain for themes such as Alice, Cinderella, Snow White, Peter Pan, Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio, and others that appeal to me.
