My name is Chris Hilbig. I'm a fine artist and illustrator from San Antonio, Texas, United States My background is in Print Design, which I learned at San Antonio College. Later on, I enrolled and graduated from The Art Instruction Schools of Minneapolis, MN. While attending the Art Instruction schools, I won a few awards, including 1st place in the 2012 Charles Schulz Cartoon Art competition. I have practiced graphic design professionally for roughly two years for a local firm. Off and on, I have been offering my services online as a freelance illustrator for 20+ years. After a 6 year stint in 2019 working for Mondelez International, I left them to help start a skateboarding lifestyle company with a cousin. During this time, I produce quirky art for the partnership. After that fell apart, I founded my publishing imprint Second Half Studios in 2022, having published three titles in multiple languages. I am also in the fine art space. In 2024, my series “Little Spoofs” was re-released to the public, and this includes the original canvases. To learn more, please visit Chris Hilbig Art online _Website not available.
