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.
