Hi, I’m Abe Becker, and I’m Storyboard Artist and Illustrator based in Charleston, SC. I’m primarily interested in trying to help make our world a better place through the use of story.
As the line between reality and fantasy is increasingly becoming blurred, I want to be in a position to share the best of what I’ve been given, so that I can help other people find their paths, overcome obstacles, and find peace. Darkness is a signpost pointing to the light. I find beauty in the struggle of life. I honor the journey, and I see transformation as our central purpose on Earth.
Working as a consultant who led a team of developers, I understand how projects need to function, and how businesses run. Collaborating with people while keeping things light, especially when the pressure is on, is something I always strive for. I encourage criticism because it allows me to grow, and I’m also comfortable giving critique when needed. I genuinely enjoy giving presentations, and I’ve entertained many a high-rise corporate group with unexpected slides. One thing I don’t do well is over-sell. If I believe in something and know the details, I’m glad to speak about it, but if I don’t know, I’ll be the first to admit it and find someone who does.
Growing up with parents who were self employed artists, I’ve been drawing and painting since I was old enough to hold a pencil. My BFA in Illustration at SCAD focused on foundational classes in live figure drawing, sketching, composition, painting, sculpture, art history, and lithography, with a major in Illustration.
Some of my artistic influences are:
Thomas Hart Benton
Vincent Van Gogh
Salvador Dali
Vasily Kandinskiy
Ramona Fradon (Superman, Aquaman)
Doris Burn (Summerfolk, Andrew Henry’s Meadow)
H. A. Ray (Curious George)
Virginia Lee Burton (Katie and the Big Snow)
The genres I gravitate towards are:
Illumination
Sci-Fi
Drama
Biblical
Children’s Books
Music Videos
SCAD had a profound impact on my personal direction as an artist, and as a person. The 16 credits in Art History, the comprehensive array of studio intensive skill building workshops, combined with truly inspiring teaching, pushed me to my absolute best as a designer and as a creative thinker. I placed in the top 3 at the SCAD senior show with my multimedia illustration “Waste”.
Ed Barbier shaped the way I view design, a fantastic sculptor, Louisiana native, and just a profoundly inspiring teacher.
Dick Krepel brought me into a new realm of understanding the usage of multimedia for illustration.
Alexi Natchev introduced me to fine art of conveying a story through illustrations.
Kirt Witte was instrumental in imparting Photoshop techniques that I still use today.
