Talk about talented! Craig Alan was born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California. Though he was
always drawn to the artistic side of life, Craig's creative luminance did not
wholly shine until his family transferred to New Orleans in his youth. It was
here that Craig's capacity for detailed visual interpretation took root. In this
city by the sea, rich in its culture and outlets for creative expression, Craig
began exploring his own ingenious impulses.
Craig's earliest experimentation took the form of street portraiture, an
endeavor that helped him perfect his flair for replicating the human figure and
afforded the budding artist a sense of economic autonomy. He saved money he
earned during this stint for school and supplies. Though he always planned to
pursue a formal art education, Craig continued to develop technically and
conceptually through his own diligent studies.
