Bio: Brian Dumm is a professional artist and art educator from Ebensburg, Pennsylvania where he works and lives with his wife and two daughters.

Brian is a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators, The Allied Artists of Johnstown, and the Pennsylvania Art Education Association. Brian's work is largely illustrative, having been inspired by his earliest visual passions for comic book art, skateboard graphics, and album covers.
Brian is also an avid musician, golfer, Pittsburgh sports fan, and "self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur".
Some of the fine folks that I've had the pleasure of working with are: Condado tacos (Team Lead, 12 locations, from here to Huntsville, AL), Millie's Ice Cream, Richard DeShantz Restaurant Group and Pyrotecnico Fireworks, just to name a few.
I also work as a freelance illustrator when I'm not up in a scissor lift painting murals. I'd like to mention that working on this project has been a blast, and it's my hope that fans like the poster as much as I liked making it.
