Apollo Baldoz is finishing his final semester in Columbia Collage. Arriving late into the semester he will be finishing off his days in Chicago working as a Frequency staff in the graphics department.

Originally from California, Apollo was involved in the world of skating that introducing him to photography and graphic design. This gave him the opportunity to become the photographer for a skate magazine, do graphics work for his local skate shop, and start an art project of his own. Skating also established the Exclusives™ (www.exclusivestm.com), a collection of friends who are all designers, motion designers, and filmmakers who had came from a background in skating, but now working on bigger and better outlets. He left Chicago to pursue a degree in graphic design, which was later switched to illustration. He is also working as a graphic designer and assistant gallery manager for Mess Marketing (www.messmarketing.net), a local marketing company who had work with companies like Burger King, Old Style Beer, and Kawasaki.

After school, Apollo plans to take his chances in New York concentrating on motion design, but his array of talents spawn from photography, traditional illustration, marketing, and graphic design, will not limit him to produce great work.
