Because of Moore, I feel way ready and able to use the skills I need for my future in Illustration. I appreciate being guided closely by professors while still having the freedom to express myself.

MEET DYLAN B. CALEHO ’19
Dylan's career as a freelance illustrator kicked off before they even graduated from Moore, when their professor introduced them to graphic novelist, illustrator and art director Eric Battle at MoCCA Arts Fest, New York’s largest independent comics and cartoon festival. Battle, a notable Philadelphia-based artist, who’s worked with both DC and Marvel Comics, was impressed with Dylan’s comic work, and asked them to be a contributing illustrator for a comic-based anthology.
In addition to their many freelance projects, Caleho also works full-time for an engineering company, Rodriguez, doing illustrations, graphic design and social media marketing projects.
