Ever since discovering comic books, heavy metal, and punk rock, Phil Mosberg has been obsessed with art and creative expression. After spending his 20s in the music world, he became a firefighter in 2006, a career he continues to this day. Missing a creative outlet, Phil went back to his first love of drawing. Phil took numerous classes through the School of the Art Institute’s community program and even had a piece featured in their 2019 course catalogue.  Immersing himself in the study and development of this craft led to intensive study of the figure with Steve Huston via his “Draws From Life” program, as well as a mentorship with George Pratt studying graphic storytelling. He is also an artist member of The Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago.

The alchemy of conjuring forms, images, and stories on a 2-D surface has never lost its luster for Phil and he revels in creating exciting images and stories for comics and illustrations.

 

Phil lives in Chicago with his wife Kim and their dog Apollonia.
