It can be said that Von Glitschka‘s successful career as an illustrator and designer is based on a few coincidences. By his account, he wound up in design school because his guidance counselor claimed to be unable to find any information about film school. Post college, he spent years working as a full-time designer for a company when he caught his daughter’s cold, called out sick and his boss found an email from another company offering him a job that he turned down.

Still, he found himself out of work and decided to take the freelance leap by setting up his own studio. It’s flourished ever since. His company, Glitschka Studios has it’s hands in many pots which is evident from Glitschka’s twitter feed. Von covers all the bases, from the arts, general observations, social commentary, events and even job finds.
