Joe Palumbo is a fantasy illustrator whose cover art is on the award winning book Beach Pulp from Cat & Mouse Press; and in the New York Times Best Seller FUBAR: Empire of the Rising Dead from Alterna Comics. His work has also appeared on comic book covers, graphic novels, magazines, private collections, and in galleries throughout the USA.  Joe resides in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; a great art town he truly loves.

When Joe Palumbo isn't creating art, he's the Director of Grandview Gallery.  A professional art gallery located in the Administration Building of Wilson High School in West Lawn, Pennsylvania. Joe is very excited about exhibiting student and professional artists, while educating the community about art, how we create art, and how art can be interpreted.
