Successful Local Graphic Illustrator Named 'Artist in Residence' at ...

?During his senior year studying film at the School for Visual Arts, Harrison native Zach Brunner decided he would rather be learning more about his hobby, drawing.

He took a few illustration classes but graduated with a film degree and a specialty in editing. Brunner soon learned he had a gifted natural talent for illustration. By the time he graduated in 2011 Jim Krueger, a leading comic book writer, had already asked him to illustrate two of his graphic novels, ?Runner,? and ?The High Cost of Living Happily Ever After.?

In the last two years he has also provided illustrations and animated content for the off-Broadway musical ?Chix 6;? he is a collaborator on the ?Dragons of Blizzard Island? toy franchise, and works as a storyboard artist for Mercedes Benz among others. He does it all as a freelancer who works from home.?

Serendipity Labs owner John Arenas and his wife Kim, who knew Brunner from Trinity Church in Harrison, recognized Brunner?s talent and offered him a complimentary membership at Serendipity this spring.

?It is just nice to be in a different environment because when I am home there are a lot of distractions,? Brunner said. ?It is nice to go somewhere where I don?t have all those things cluttering my mind. I go and focus completely on my work.?

Brunner usually does his drawings from home because they require many different pens, pencils and papers, but he colors them on his computer. He plans to do his coloring work at Serendipity.

Brunner is currently working on a trading card game and illustrating a young adult novel and a graphic novel.

Check out some of Brunner?s work on his website and learn more about Serendipity Labs here.

Jodi Gordon, Community Manager for Serendipity Labs is responsible for curating membership and events to ensure a vibrant and engaging workplace experience.? Gordon will also be overseeing the selection of this summer?s Artist in Residence in May.? ?
