When Craig was four years old, he remembers his mother introducing him to watercolor; he was instantly fascinated and continued to draw and paint throughout his years in school. In college, Craig majored in graphic design and worked as a designer for a number of years following and until recently. Today, his work is inspired by retro science fiction, rock and roll posters, comic books and Atari 2600 game cartridge art. Craig uses a variety of materials to create these vibrant images, including pencils, markers, acrylic paint and digital graphics programs.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist''s canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
