Dillon Stienike
Background
Born in the city of Yakima, Washington, and growing up in rural Nebraska. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I spent my childhood reading comic books, drawing, playing video games, and listening to massive amounts of heavy metal music. This is what fueled my creative inspiration. I would read Marvel and Now comic books and just draw for days. If you're wondering who Now Comics is, I'm sure they're out of business today.
Moving on, after high school, I attended college in Denver, Colorado, for two years. I received my Associates Degree in the "Applied Sciences of Graphic Design & Multimedia" from Westwood College of Technology. After college, I returned to Nebraska to find creative employment. The search for such a position at the time was pretty non-existent. So in 2007, I started my own business titled, Dillon's Diabolical Designs®.
Since that time my artwork has been featured on everything from album covers, t-shirts, to outdoor music festivals. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing and working on vintage vehicles. I currently live in Nebraska.
