Curvo Leno is Lenora Howl

I am an illustrator, painter, carver, printer, digital media person working out of Wisconsin/ New York. I am seeking new challenges big and small: branding for businesses, invitations, stationery, book/ album covers, show fliers. I believe everything animate or inanimate has a soul, therefore can emote. This is the essence behind my work- finding a way to convey feeling through imagery no matter the subject.

I work in pen and ink, paint, linoleum cut prints, stamps, photoshop, indesign, and illustrator. Everything I make is by hand and even my digital work starts with a hand drawn design.

I am non traditionally trained by my traditionally trained father, Mark Symczak, and my style was formed by the following artists: R. Crumb, Marc Chagall, Folley Cove Designers, R.B. Kitaj, Al Hirschfeld, Ben Shahn, Joaquin Torres Garcia, Lenore Tawney, Louise Nevelson, but mostly Mark Symczak.
