Some people say that Jon Dahlstrom came into this world drawing. In fact Jon can't remember a time in his life when he wasn't drawing! From his earliest years he filled every available sheet of paper - including the back of lunch bags and margins of second grade math papers, with drawings of cars, cowboys, and football players. His characters were always shown in action...always telling a story.
Jon grew up in a rural community in Southern California to become a scholarship student at the Art Center College of Design. From the San Gabriel Valley he moved to Santa Barbara and then to San Francisco, earning his creative stripes in advertising agencies working with product and brand groups that included Sambo's Restaurants, Santa Barbara Savings, Lotus Cars, and most notable - the team that introduced Microsoft Word to the world.
Currently a freelance Illustrator published in books and magazines including Road & Track, Cycle world, Teen, Surfer, the Los Angeles Magazine, and The Chicago Tribune, he's earned awards from the Los Angeles Society of Illustrators and the New York Art Directors Club to name a few.
Today, the Storyboard Doctor works from his studio nestled in the North Georgia mountains, Jon uses his unique combination of advertising agency experience and natural drawing and storytelling abilities to bring cowboys, cars, and Clorox bottles to life for some of the top agency creative in Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Jon specializes in illustration, corporate design, logo and brochure creation, product packaging, catalogues, menus and all form of advertising in between and betwixt.
