Bruce Manchee - Illustrator While in elementary school, Bruce discovered a very real interest in art when his teacher confiscated a now classic Superman comic book from which he was copying art! After that discovery, Bruce's interest grew until he won art scholarship courses to the Houston museum of Fine Art. In high school, he got plenty of practice when an English teacher gave him the choice between flunking or illustrating poems! Bruce opted for the illustrating and has continued with that love for illustrating through college and over thirty years in the graphic and fine art fields. Bruce is now a dedicated educator committed to what he calls "the art of teaching". This has allowed his students (high school and college) to experience creativity and art in both the educational environment and the "real" world. In 2000 he received the Educator of the Year Award for his efforts. Besides teaching, Bruce uses his spare time on "the fun stuff" including projects like designing neon art with his friend Paul Cruz. Work includes logos for local bands, numerous art pieces and two fourteen foot dinosaurs. During the summer he has painted and drawn hundreds of landscapes and figure drawings. Bruce has illustrated six books and used his artwork extensively in commercial projects.
