CURT MERLO

Curt Merlo is a commercial illustrator by day, crafting visual narratives that bring the latest news stories to life for publications around the world. By night, he is locked in his studio (completely unnecessarily), creating and self-publishing comics and art books. In 2023, Curt's latest graphic novel, "That Distant Fire," was nominated for an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Artist. Explore this work and his other comics HERE.

Curt's commercial art has appeared in renowned publications including Wired, The New York Times, The Washington Post and many more. His art has been recognized in The American Illustration Annual and multiple volumes of the 3x3 Illustrations Annual and more.
