Art of Amanda Barker

Movies, comic books, and stories of all kinds have influenced me and inspired me for as long as I can remember. 

 

I attended Laguna College of Art and Design and was honored to receive a Merit Scholarship.  I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration with an emphasis in Entertainment. That education gave me the opportunity to start with some exciting freelance work including a short story comic and concept art for a film pitch. 

 

At the beginning of 2018, I began a position at Cryptozoic Entertainment, where I have had many avenues to grow and learn about the entertainment industry.  I have had the experience to follow products from it's initial drawing, to sculpting, to prototypes, to sales support, to marketing,

to selling it to the fans themselves. 

​

In 2022, I was incredibly delighted to join the Disney/Marvel family as an Associate Product Design Manager on the DCP Licensed Hardlines team.  I spend my time collaborating with industry titans on incredible Marvel collectibles and table top gaming projects.

 

It's amazing to have touched every part of the lifespan of the products I care about. Hope to see you at Comic Con one day!
