Jeffery Yahshar Burns (Jeff), is a freelance concept artist, illustrator, and book designer residing in Manteca, California. He was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and is the firstborn of two children. Jeff attended East Los Angeles Occupational Center and acquired a certification in Advertising Design.
His childhood passion was creating comic book superheroes, but he believed that it was impossible for someone from the inner city to make a living from such an enjoyable activity. After working as a graphic designer for several years and delegating illustration assignments to freelancers, Jeffery decided to become one of the freelancers himself. Jeff has since added concept art, digital illustration, and traditional painting/mural work to his skillset. He provides assistance to individuals as well as various companies including Flatline Church at Chisholm, the Highfield Creative Agency, E! Entertainment and NBCUniversal. He prides himself with doing good work and being good to work with. Jeffery is also a certified Grumbacher Art Instructor and teaches art classes periodically. |
