Frank Schurter
As a boy growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Frank Schurter read a lot of Ray Bradbury short stories, watched a lot of Star Trek and Twilight Zone, and wanted desperately to draw comic books. He discovered the joys of digital illustration while earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Major in Illustration at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Against considerable odds, he found employment doing illustration, animation, and game design, including many years at DreamForge Intertainment in Greensburg, PA with Scot and Jane Noel (later to become founders of DreamForge Magazine). Nowadays, Frank is a Web Design and Development instructor at Pittsburgh Technical College. A lifelong student of comedy, he also leads and performs with the Amish Monkeys comedy improv troupe (see amishmonkeys.com).
