C. Bradford Gorby started his art career in the
third grade , selling watercolors to his neighbors - until his
parents made him return the money .
Not deterred by this setback , he kept drawing and actually found
his parents quite encouraging in his artistic pursuits , introducing
him to the pin-up art of Alberto Vargas .Eventually his enthusiasm
for drawing pretty girls lured him to Central Florida , giving up
his day job in computer graphics for Post Production Services in
Cincinnati , Ohio .
He spent 10 years illustrating FEMFORCE for Bill Black's AC Comics ,
as well as a slipping in a few other companies when time allowed ,
Image Comics , Todd McFarlane Productions , DC Comics and continued
his work as a sculptor for Miniature Wargaming that he began in 1982
with Ral Partha Ent., Tag Industries ,and Alderac Entertainment .
He retired from art as a profession for 10 years and got a " real job "
which only fueled his artistic drive , " at the end of my shift I would
return home and create .I am simply driven to draw , paint , sculpt ,
whether I am working professionally or not .It's what I do .
His full time job managing a liquor store lead to a chance meeting of
a fan of his comic book work and that turned into a new job at Walt
Disney World , where he spent 5 years as a Theme Production Specialist .
He assisted in the creation of the character icons at Disney's Art of
Animation Resort , as well as helping ensure that Cinderella and
Princess Aurora always looked their loveliest outside of The World of
Disney Store at Downtown Disney .
Currently he is a self employed freelance artist at C. Bradford Gorby
Studio and working on a graphic novel with writers Michael Cucka and
John Salimbene entitled WEBB .
