TREVOR GORING: Born in Birmingham,
England
While still in high school, Trevor
produced a fanzine (a magazine about American comics) called
SEMINAR. In 1968, Seminar published the first article by
author Alan Moore.
Trevor received a BA in Graphic Design
at St. Martin's School of Art, where he published a comic
book magazine, UNK, with three other artists -- Peter Jones,
Terry Frost, and Paul Simmons. The second issue was released
as VIEW FROM THE VOID. His thesis on the LANGUAGE OF THE
COMIC STRIP completed his year of post-graduate work in illustration.
After
leaving college, Trevor illustrated romance and war comics.
He also worked for 2000 AD, the celebrated British comic
book, and HOUSE OF HAMMER magazine. In 1978, the BBC hired
him to illustrate the children's TV series, CAPTAIN ZEP.
Two
years later, Trevor moved into London's booming field of
advertising art. After 4 years at DOMINO STUDIOS, he and
partners formed HELICOPTER STUDIOS, which quickly became
the largest and most cutting-edge studio in London. Helicopter
gave starts to many promising artists, some of who are prominent
in Hollywood today. Trevor functioned as the Art Director,
studio manager, and talent scout for Helicopter until he
moved to Los Angeles in 1991.
Trevor
joined the Illustrators’ Union in 1993. He storyboarded
and illustrated movies such as INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE CELL,
GATTACA, FINAL FANTASY, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG, FANTASTIC FOUR,
X-MEN 2, NARNIA, WATCHMEN, TWILIGHT, and many others.
He
continued in comics with STAR TREK, PANTERA, OUTLAW TERRITORY,
and MARVEL’S WHAT IF? FALLEN SON. In collaboration,
he developed original graphic novels including RING OF ROSES,
and WATERLOO SUNSET. He is part of a team of artists working
together on independent projects called THE BLVD STUDIO.
In
2009, Hermes Press will publish THE UNSEEN ART OF HOLLYWOOD:
A RETROSPECTIVE OF FILM STORYBOARDS, compiled and designed
by Trevor and his wife, showing storyboards from over 120
films from 1931 through the present.
