Phils drawing skills became evident at the age of 5, beginning to earn money for his work at the age of 13, and
at age 15 using his skill to create caricatures of people on the street. This attention helped to pay his way
through college. For the past 25 years, Phil has been using his skill to illustrate movie posters, being called the
Modern Day Da Vinci.
Paul Shipper, growing up with a pencil in his hand, pursued art through his high school and college years. He
specializes in works of art that are created digitally and traditionally which works in his favor in the advertising
world. Jeff Andrews, a designer claims that, Paul Shipper is one of the most talented illustrators and creative
minds I have run across in my more than 20 years in the creative industry...
