Candido Crespo was born in Brentwood, New York in 1984. He can remember as far back as 9 years old when he sat for hours drawing comic heroes and villains from observation. Crespo’s long time interest in Art directed him to SUNY New Paltz where he received his BS in Art Education and later his MA from SUNY Stony Brook. During those years, Crespo was able to experiment with a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, digital photography and printmaking. Crespo’s recent involvement in the Arts includes teaching, podcasting, freelance designing and participating as well as organizing art exhibits.
