Edward Emshwiller

Edward (Emsh) Emshwiller (1925 - 1990) was active/lived in California, New York, Michigan.  Edward Emshwiller is known for Science fiction illustration, comics, video art.

Ed Emshwiller (born: Edmund Alexander Emshwiller) studied painting, illustration and design at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.  After he graduated he went on to study at L'École des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Art Students League in New York City.
