Personal Details

Bio

Dominick graduated with distinction from Art Center College of Design. He spent 11 years as an artist with Disney Feature Animation (Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, Little Match Girl and One by One) while illustrating Books for major publishers like Penguin, Putnam, Random House, Hyperion, Harcourt, Disney Publishing and Wizards of the Coast. He went on to found the Entertainment track at Art Center, where he taught for twenty years, while making award-winning short films and becoming a published, award-winning author of narrative nonfiction, YA Fantasy, Mythic Fiction and Magical Realism. His intimate understanding of storytelling, transformation, and the creative process is founded in having been lucky enough to see it in action every day of his adult life, and to have worked with students in finding their creative voice and mastering a conceptual approach to contributing it to the world. His workshops and lectures are inspiring, his speaking style soulful and approachable. There is nothing elitist about the creativity we all share and are driven to express!

Testimonials (7)
  • Dominick Domingo has shared his expert wisdom and unique perspective on the transformational powers of creativity at events hosted by me, as well as several events that I've attended. His charm, wit, humor and likability only add to his immense knowledge base, his profound grasp of the creative process and his acute insight. I am convinced there are few who possess Dominick's background in the industry as a veteran story teller; he uses this experience as an expert speaker and a teacher, which I believe set him apart from other panelists and visiting artists.

  • Dominick R. Domingo has presented at Big Fish Games, in Seattle, as a Visiting Artist. As a student of Dominick's at Art Center, I learned techniques of composition, layout, line and visual storytelling, as well as background painting. Dominick has a fantastic artistic style that is dynamic and powerful and he combines this with a sensitive understanding of story narrative. I highly recommend learning from him, working with him and just chatting with him if you get the chance. Brian Thompson, Senior Art Director at Big Fish Games

  • I have known Dominick Domingo for close to five years, since coming to ArtCenter as Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs. Dominick has been a member of the Illustration Department faculty since January 1999. Dominick is an intensely creative faculty member and individual who maintains high standards in the classroom. He brings a wealth of experience to his roles as practitioner and as teacher. His professional activities outside of ArtCenter, especially at Disney Feature Animation, led him to offer numerous elective classes at the College, some of which essentially formed the foundation of what has since become the Entertainment Arts and Entertainment Design tracks within the Department. On a personal level, Dominick is very engaging and out-going. It is easy to spend hours talking about the arts and the world with him.

  • Dominick Domingo is a high energy, talented and creative thinker and speaker. He has a varied background as an illustrator and author, making him a valuable and entertaining speaker. He's been a guest on my podcasts, Dellani's Tea Time and What's Write for Me, (Blog Talk Radio) several times, and never fails to make us laugh, while sharing interesting tidbits with us. I happily recommend him as a guest speaker.

  • As a student at ArtCenter College of Design. I took Nick's background and character design courses. His classes were key to my development as an artist and taught me the foundation I needed to excel in the entertainment design industry. Nick has always been willing to put his students first and his work and teaching is a inspiration.
    Jeremy Steiner
  • During my time at Art Center I was privileged to have Dominick as my instructor for 3 different classes. Years later he remains one of my favorite teachers from ACCD. He possesses that rare combination of being both an extraordinarily talented professional artist and an amazing teacher. He truly made his students better.
