I was born in Baltimore, MD and now I reside in San Diego, CA. There was much in between. Sean Dietrich is one of San Diego's premiere artists/live painters. From the age of 5 when he declared to his mother that "I'm going to be and artist when I grow up", to the now expansive career that encompasses the comic, gaming, and movie industries, Dietrich's art has been a journey of unparalleled originality and fierceness. Sean's comics have earned him comparisons with artistic and literary giants such as Ralph Steadman, Hunter Thompson, Tim Burton, and Orson Welles, and are some of the most twisted books in the industry today. Clients have included Playstation, Asahi Beer, Stone Arch Books, and Rorschach Entertainment.With no formal training, and whether painting live in front of thousands of people or at home creating a new series of paintings that will test the limits of your imagination, Dietrich has been dropping his artistic incendiary bombs for years, and the Blitzkrieg against mediocrity and repetition in the art world continues.....
