He lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.\u00a0He has a bachelor degree in interior design and worked in that field for many years, in addition to animation, before making art and illustration his career.\u00a0 Influenced by a lifelong love of comic books (favorite artists include Jack Kirby, Bill Everett and Basil Wolverton), pulp magazine art (Frank R. Paul cover art), old monster and B-movies (Ray Harryhausen movies, &#8220;King Kong&#8221;, &#8220;Dracula&#8221;, etc.), children&#8217;s books (Dr. Seuss), and vintage advertising and graphics, these sources have made their way into his art.\u00a0 Drawing from a very early age, Heshka also used model building (miniature cities built\u00a0 from cardboard) and super-8 movie making to create his own worlds. Each painting is a part of this world of re-imagined visuals and re- created dreams.\u00a0Heshka has appeared in all the major illustration annuals, including American Illustration, Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts, 3 x 3, and Applied Arts.\u00a0 Clients include Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Playboy, Esquire, Forbes, Topps, and DreamWorks SKG.\u00a0 He has appeared in galleries across North America (including Roq La Rue, Seattle, WA; Richard Heller, LA; Copro Nason, LA; Orbit Gallery, New Jersey; Rotofugi, Chicago))and in Europe (Feinkunst Kruger, Germany; Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea, Italy), and has been published several times in BLAB! and books about the new underground art movement, including THE UPSET.\u00a0 His second children&#8217;s book is set for release in Winter 2012, and his first book was optioned by DreamWorks SKG.\u00a0 &#8220;Ours&#8221; at the Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea will be his first international solo show.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;&#8221; visibility=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;
