Conan (1999) Desenho por George Anthony Penon Cassallo

Born in Lima, Peru (South America), I arrived in the United states when I was seven years old. Proud of my Peruvian, Puerto Rican and Italian ethnicity-I quickly embraced all that this great country offered. One such passion was reading comic books! In a sense, that was my introduction to art. Cartoonists such as Jack Kirby, John Buscema, and Johnny Romita were very influential in my own development as a visual artist. In fact it was then that I realized I had some element of artistic ability as well.

However, I didn't consider myself a serious artist until just recently. Up until some eight yrs ago, I had never even painted on canvas! It's become a truly passion for me now! It's such a rewarding experience-being able to create fine works of art-although I certainly am aware it's still a learning experience for me.

I'm presently attending F.I.T (Fashion institute of Technology), majoring in Fine Art. In the near future, I hope to self publish my own children's books/comic books and of course continue painting.
