About the Instructor
Chris E. O’Neill is an artist and illustrator based in Somerville, MA. He is a compulsive draw-er, hardly ever looking up from the page in front of him. He can be found lurking in cafes and bars furiously jotting down the goings-on around him. He has worked for a wide range of clients including Harmonix, Cutty's, and Collective Arts Brewing and has shown his work in a variety of venues in the greater Boston area, most recently a large scale mural at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly. He is super-awkward in real life.
