Joseph D’Esposito is an illustrator, painter and graphic novelist who is based in Brooklyn, New York. While studying painting and drawing at The Art Students League and The National Academy of Design, he was also working alongside legendary comic book artist, Neal Adams as his assistant, learning the craft of comic art, storyboarding and concept art. Joseph is very proud of the two Greenshields grants he won for his paintings and the first solo show he had at First Street Gallery in New York City. He still loves the challenge of illustrating an art director's personal vision.
