Luke graduated with his MFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Originally hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska, he received his BFA in Graphic Design from Concordia University, Nebraska. Recently, Luke signed on as a designer/illustrator with the New York ad agency M Booth, working with clients such as Google, American Express, and Johnson & Johnson, to name a few.
