GEORGE MOSS

Drawing since the age of 6 years old, George Moss aka Gmoss, has been developing his drawing skills. He grew up watching animations like Thundercats, Robotech, Mighty Orbots, and  GI Joe.  George enjoyed watching Sci-Fi and Fantasy films. He also listened to positive hip hop, R&B, Jazz, and other styles of music. These are some of the influences that have helped shape his illustration and design style. He creates 2d cartoon character and realistic illustrations.

George designs unique products, and also writes and illustrates novels for teens and adults.  He graduated with honors and a Commercial Art Degree from International Fine Arts College, which is now known as Miami International University of Art & Design.

He worked as a technical illustrator and a freelance assistant technical designer for Perry Ellis International in Miami, Florida.  While he was there, George increased his drawing skills and this experience helped shape his character. Through his experience at Perry Ellis, and other fashion companies in Miami, he grew in the industry to become a product developer, an assistant technical designer, and a senior creative apparel/technical designer.

George now shares his unique line of art, clothing, and accessories based on his illustrated sci-fi novel – “The Chronicles of Ann & Lo™”. His story was created to encourage the young and older generation to seek their purpose and use their talents to uplift their communities.

Testimonials:

Gmoss Designs is known in the community as being an artist and designer, but also educator and promoter of the arts in South Florida. His comic book is the first of its kind in my library, featuring diverse characters and innovative illustration. Gmoss Designs is known for being a family owned empire with God at the center of inspiration.

Inga S., Educator

Gmoss Designs

He’s known in the community as not just a person that promotes his own art, but encourages others to promote themselves and encourages other artists to put themselves out there and take a chance. Gmoss Designs has not only helped those in the art community, but those in the comic con community by putting us together and opening doors for all whom may not know about other artists, but through his fellowship has created a community of people that may not have ever met. Iknow I am one of them that I have been able to become friends with people that I may not have met otherwise.

Al P., Retired Miami-Dade County Police Officer

Gmoss Designs

I’d say that Gmoss would be known for its involvement in the community and providing opportunities for local talent to meet new fans that aren’t plugged into mainstream avenues. Showing young creatives that there is strength in community.
