New York based graphic designer/artist Jeff Gilligan has received a number of accolades in recent months.  At the beginning of the year he was commended by The Creativity 33 Annual for his work on the CD package for "Life Force Radio" by hip-hop artist Afu-Ra.  In April of 2004 he was then recognized by his peers by being featured in Rockport Publishers' The Best Of Business Card Design 6 (In Stores Now) and his fine art work was a part of the ' 50/50 Show' in Cleveland.  Gilligan just had his first solo showing in New York City with a highly successful debut in the East Village in September.

Born in Long Island, NY, Gilligan has designed for major fashion and entertainment clients, record labels and corporations such as Sean Combs and Bad Boy Records, CITIbank, SEAN JOHN fashion line, HBO, Atlantic Records, AT&T, KOCH Entertainment, and the American Cancer Society to name a few.  Differentiating his work from peers is the organic quality of Gilligan's pieces.  His designs are full of emotion, while still conveying the concept of his clients, finding creative understanding between designer and client.

Jeff Gilligan is currently art director at KOCH Entertainment and has had his work featured in HOW Design Magazine , New York Magazine , STEP Inside Design and on Access Hollywood .
