Paul Wiley's work often crosses the fuzzy borders between art and design, but there is always a vigilant eye on the intention of the piece. As an illustrator, his work has been seen by millions of computer users, with his PentiumIII conceptual product identity images, and on the desks and in lockers of a myriad of kids worldwide with his future-retro sci-Mead TrapperKeeper Futurocity line of folders and binders; as well as oodles of magazines and advertisements. As an industrial designer, his range has been as broad as promotional premiums for Pfizer pharmaceuticals to cookware and kitchen electrics for the Food Network.

His philosophy is based on the precept that all disciplines converge: graphic and industrial design, fine art, architecture, music, history, mathematics. The more you know, the more you can express; whether this expression is personal or client-based doesn't matter—what's in the mental toolbox does.

Paul has taught perspective drawing for interior designers at Parsons [NYC], 3d imaging at the Pratt Institute, graphic design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and rapid visualization and presentation techniques for industrial designers at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco.

He is currently taking time to develop a new body of work that endeavors to combine what he has learned so far as a designer, as an artist, and as a citizen of the world, trying to find some peace on a somewhat peace-less planet. He welcomes commissions for illustration as well as projects in the field of product design for the home.

Paul's undergrad degrees are in Visual Presentation and Exhibit Design at New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology and Industrial Design at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco; he was awarded a Master's in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where his focus was on environments and production design for computer-based film.

Paul lives in New York City with his partner, Gustavo, and their verbose cat, Cleetus.
