Born in Oklahoma, Michael Schwab now lives and works in Northern California. From his studio in Marin County, he has established a national reputation as one of America’s leading graphic artists. He has created national award-winning logos and posters for a remarkable list of prestigious clients, including Apple, Amtrak, The Golden Gate National Parks, Major League Baseball, Robert Mondavi, Muhammad Ali, Nike, Pebble Beach, Polo Ralph Lauren, Robert Redford, San Francisco Opera, Sundance, Sunset Books, and Wells Fargo, among others.

Having attended school in Texas, New York, and California, Michael has a broad array of visual cultural and geographic references to which he regularly turns for ideas. His work is easily recognized by his signature use of large, flat areas of color, dramatic perspectives and bold, graphic images of archetypal human forms. His award-winning work is regularly featured in publications worldwide.
