You either got it or you don’t. And Von Glitschka’s got it. The always creating, always producing, always moving Mr. Glitschka proved his mettle once again by being accepted into the “Society of Illustrators” for his piece “Tickles the Evil Clown.” Von was also featured in the 47^th Annual Illustration West show for his work with Adobe on the graphic, “Loyal Order of Wormwood”.

Adobe sought Von as a beta tester for its latest Creative Suite of applications, CS4, since he had changed from his usual FreeHand to Illustrator some years back. Working with them during testing opened doors for Von, and when Adobe wanted a graphic story to be sent out with the launch of the CS4 Illustrator program, they commissioned him for original artwork. After giving him complete creative control and trusting him to direct himself, Adobe used Von’s final image for their international software packaging. Anyone who purchases this product will be able to open up Von’s original Ai file and see how he created the image. The demo actually has two pages within the file — one showing the artwork below and another telling the story behind it. The end result: a complete package, both visually and educationally. Much like Von himself.
