The Contributors of Illustration Pages

Lou Simeone

Lou has been a designer and illustrator for almost twenty years. As a child he spent many solitary hours tucked away in quiet places drawing Disney and Looney Tunes characters, creating his own comic strips and reading Mad Magazine and Al Jaffee books.

Armed with a degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in design, and his love of art, Lou set out on a long career that so far has taken him through many journeys, from staff designer to art director to managing a design studio, to freelance designer and illustrator.

When not designing, illustrating or being totally consumed with the Illustration Pages site, you can find Lou spending time with his two children, who he likes to spoil, knows he shouldn’t, but does so anyway.

Owen Schumacher

Owen is an artist and writer based in the Los Angeles area. One time when he was little, his mom asked him what kind of TV he wanted, and he said, “A red one.” He grew up with Pee-wee Herman, Rambo, Michael Jackson, and “80s video games”. This cosmic cocktail of influences has inescapably spilled over on everything he’s done since. Later in life he found he loved Groucho Marx and Andy Warhol, and knew somehow between those two, true art resides. When drawing, he prefers listening to disco, Dio, and David Bowie. His illustrations have been featured in the OC Weekly, openDemocracy, and Forest & Bluff Magazine.
