Chris
Bolden has been painting since
1990. Graduating from Pasadena
Art Center College of Design
in 1997 with a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree in
Illustration, he immediately
began working and is currently
an artist on the long-running
animated television series The
Simpsons. He first worked on
the show as a background
illustrator and designer, and
more currently as a color-key
artist. Sources of artistic
inspiration for Chris come
from painters such as:
N.C.Wyeth, Winslow Homer, and
John Singer Sargent.
The
inspiration behind the
Noseriders series came from
Chris's twenty-plus years
as a surfer in Southern
California. While primarily a
short-boarder, Chris was
attracted to the timeless
grace and style of
long-boarders, specifically
the stylish asymmetrical
balance that the surfers'
body contorts to maintain
perfect balance.
