Greg Puglese is not one to shy away from a creative challenge. He is an illustrator, a designer, a musician with his band Mock Suns, as well as a music video director. Currently an art director at 160/90, he graduated from Tyler in the economic turbulence of 2008 and quickly started forging his career with long-term freelance gigs, eventually leading him to One Trick Pony. He created whimsical illustrations for clients like RadioLab as well as iconic website design for TCM. Greg has gone on to do editorial illustration work as well as gallery shows. In both instances, Greg’s love for rich, colorful textures and depth comes through. We discuss all of this plus his love for the tactile, the role that videos play in the current media landscape and what it’s like to meet someone you just illustrated.
