About

Best known for his rendition of the young Elvis Presley Stamp, Stutzman’s illustrations are used in advertising, on products, posters, magazines, book covers, and other niche markets. His work is well-known in the entertainment business on Broadway: Young Frankenstein, The Musical, Annie Get Your Gun, and in the mystical realm of David Blaine and his event posters. He has created artwork for movie products and premiums for Batman, Jurassic Park, and Space Jam, as well as book covers for Steven King, and is an acclaimed playing card artist. With a client list topped by McDonald’s, DC Comics, MAD magazine, The New Yorker, Nickelodeon, Rolling Stone, Microsoft, Time, and Esquire, he's had the opportunity to influence many worlds through his illustrative works. Stutzman works with clients from around the globe in the quiet comfort of his remote studio. But as a member of New York’s Society of Illustrators and The Illustrators’ Partnership, Stutzman has contributed to annual shows there, has been selected in competitions among his contemporaries, and has received the Stephan Dehanos award. He has volunteered his time by serving on the board of directors for a local arts organization, spoken and presented for schools and colleges and produced artwork for local nonprofit organizations. He has also been a guest speaker at EG3 and EG6 (The Entertainment Gathering) in Monterey, California. He has contributed to a public art movement with large-scale murals in his hometown. More recently, he has strayed from art to explore side interests. Stutzman helped found and served as president of Engage Mountain Maryland, a nonprofit volunteer organization that focuses on community organizing to empower citizens to be more active and involved in local and state issues. Stutzman began producing video shorts to document activities and personal stories through working with the organization. This led to his first feature-length documentary, Wings of a Dove, which shares the story of a small rural school as they learn to build their own steel drum band under the guidance of an artist-in-residence. The local premiere welcomed 450 viewers to celebrate the value of arts education and volunteerism in public schools. He continues to create short stories and documentaries for his local arts organization and important events in his community.
