Cristy C. Road has been illustrating ideas, people, and places, ever since she learned how to hold a crayon. She graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Illustration, whether or not the administration at herschool irritated her. Roughly two years after that, her repertoire consists of ten years of independent publishing, two graphic novels, and countless illustrations for a broad slew of magazines, record album art, concert posters, and political organizations.(less)
