RUBEN CHAVEZ

Ruben Chavez was drawing as soon as he was able to hold a pencil in his hand. Throughout his childhood he was encouraged to pursue his love of art and animation, so no wonder when after graduating from James A. Garfield High School in 1977 that he began his college years at California State University, Long Beach... In 1980 he continued his college training when he was accepted at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California where he graduated in 1983 receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration... His professional career took flight when he landed his first art job as an Illustrator/Designer for RDI Video Systems working in conjunction with Don Bluth Productions on the now memorable arcade game Dragon's Lair.
