Larry Grossman's professional art career began in the mid 1960’s, when at age 15 he began airbrushing and selling wild T-shirts at car shows and events in his native L.A., occasionally working for the legendary "King of the Car Kustomizers", George Barris.
In '67 Larry moved to Berkeley, where he graduated from CCAC Art School. Then in 1981 the Disney Studios enticed Larry back to L.A. to work as a designer on their landmark first-computerized film "TRON”. After that, Larry created art on a free-lance basis for Disney, Warner Bros., and Dreamworks Studios, and also illustrated three album covers for legendary musician Frank Zappa, among others.
While working on “TRON", Larry discovered the creative potential of the computer, and soon developed his current unique artistic process, combining digital airbrushing with his own photography. The results are unique and striking, and reflect Larry’s love for the styles of the 1930-50’s. Larry owns a '32 Ford hot rod and a '61 Nash Metro Convertible (and does all of his own mechanical work).
The art Larry creates through his current business, Retrovisions, is currently exhibited at galleries and museums worldwide. In addition to self-publishing over seventy-five posters, Larry also licenses his art for dozens of products. He also accepts commissions from customers who want custom-tailored art featuring themselves, their cars, or whatever.
