THE ARTIST
Glenn Tunstull
Craryville, NY
Glenn Tunstull graduated from Cass Technical High School in Detroit, MI in the mid 70’s. He followed that training as a fulltime student at Parsons School of Design in New York City for several semesters. Early training included working as a Pattern Book Correction illustrator for several years in the 1970’s.
A major career change happened when Tunstull was hired to work for the haute couture publication, Women’s Wear Daily as the first Black illustrator to ever do so. For the next several years, he created beautiful editorial images that captured current fashions, trends, and social publicity. While at WWD, Tunstull was filled with freelance promotional projects for the leading manufactures and designers in the United States.
Glenn relocated to Paris, France for two years to connect with the international fashion community. He settled into the European way of life, while freelance illustrating for Hermes and other French editorial publications. Tunstull expanded into his passion for fine art painting with his technique of painting. With a creative turn to teaching art in the 80’s and 90’s, Tunstull taught his ethos consecutively over the next thirty years at the great design schools in New York: Parsons School of Design, Fashion Institute of Technology, Pratt Institute and Marist College, over the subsequent thirty years. Teaching art had an immediate appeal for him and his many students.
