Ray Russotto

(This isn't really Ray.  I just thought this might embarrass him into sending us a real caricature of himself)!


Ray Russotto was born in Brooklyn but was moved, along with the rest of his family's belongings, to South Florida at the age of four. As a grade-schooler he earned pocket money drawing funny pictures of his teachers and classmates.

After graduating from FAU with a B. A. in English, there was a brief stint playing bass guitar in his brother's rock band before settling on the relatively "secure" occupation of freelance cartoonist. 

Ray has contributed to a number of publications in his twenty plus years as a cartoonist/illustrator. Among them are the Sun-Sentinel, Miami Herald, Boca Raton Magazine, Jazziz, New Times and Mutual Funds Magazine. In addition to studio work he also stays busy doing caricatures at special events.
