Douglas Schneider Illustration
ABOUT DOUG
After earning a Master of Fine Arts degree from Michigan State University in 1978, Doug left the cold weather of Michigan and moved to Houston to pursue a career in fine art. While in Houston he was represented by the prestigious Hooks-Epstein Galleries, but in 1985
discovered illustration and found that it was a better fit for a realistic artist. He now
specializes in food and nature illustrations that have a soft, realistic, somewhat nostalgic quality to them.
Doug moved to San Diego in 1987 and has been a member of The Society of Illustrators San Diego since 1990. He was on its Board of Directors during 1992 and 93. In spring of 2001 he and his wife, Victoria, moved back to a home on Green Lake in Northern Michigan, where they enjoy living in the beauty and peacefulness of nature.
Doug has had a flourishing career for more than 25 years doing realistic packaging
illustrations for many large companies, and is fortunate to have many happy, recurring clients. He has done more than 70 packaging illustrations for St. Ive’s products and over 50 packaging illustrations for Suave Naturals and Seasonals products. Frito-Lay has used Doug’s illustrations for Ruffle’s Potato Chips, Rold Gold Pretzels, Tostitos Salsa, Grandma’s Cookies, Chester’s Fries and Doritos Toppers.
Additional clients include Bath & Body Works, Bolthouse Farms, Clairol, Continental Mills, Ghirardelli, Good Seasonings, HEB Groceries, Johanna Foods, Marzetti, Shaklee, Smucker’s, Tree Top, Victoria’s Secret and Wal-Mart.
A large library of stock illustration is available. Please call or email for more information.
