So September 5th I'm having a solo show in Charlotte at Shain Gallery…This painting hobby became quite more so than I expected - still haven't got a clue what the heck I'm doing!
About Me
- Trip Park
- I was drawn to advertising long before I illustrated. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I first worked as an Art Director with ad agencies Leo Burnett, Chicago, and with Saatchi & Saatchi, New York. But working with and hiring all my favorite illustrators through the help of being an Art Director gave me an intoxicating look into their side of the business. I have loved illustrating a number of children's books including Gopher Up Your Sleeve, written by Tony Johnston, Trout, Trout, Trout! (A Fish Chant), Ant, Ant, Ant! (The Insect Chant), both written by April Pulley Sayre, and the recent 16-book series, Rotten School, written by R. L. Stine. I've also helped develop characters and animate commercials for AT&T, PBS, Nickelodeon, Zoloft, McDonald's, California State Fair, Blue Sky Studios (on character design for some features in development), and ironically back with Leo Burnett (my first ad agency) on their new animated campaign for McDonald's.

Trip - You'll remember that many years ago when you were working in the advertising industry I photographed you; HarperCollins are using a picture from this shoot with your biog.
Very best wishes for your painting show - I especially like the Guinness; cheers! Coincidentally, I too have a show of photos opening on 5 September; 'The Man in the Street' at a gallery in Greenwich: www.thegreenwichgallery.com.
Best regards from Nicholas Sack.
Hey Nick! So great to hear from you. And great to hear your photography is getting such acclaim! Trip
