Charles Glaubitz is from "La Linea" which is the border inside the paradox of Tijuana, Baja, California and San Diego where the first world meets the second world. He has been illustrating since he was three or four years old and recently graduated from California College of Arts and Crafts with a BFA in Illustration. His illustration clients include: Murphy Design, Visual Asylum, Nickelodeon, The Timken Museum, UCLA Magazine, USD Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, AIGA San Diego, Old Globe Theaters, The Dallas Morning News, Hartcourt and Brace, Mirriello Grafico, San Diego Council for the Community Clinics, and San Diego Motorized Transit System.

Last year he was honored to be included in Communication Arts Illustration Annual 2002 fresh section as being an up-and-coming talent. He also appeared in Tijuana's own cultural magazine SUBE/BAJA.

His cultural influences are hybridity, his father is German/American from Nebraska and is mother is Mexican from Los Mochias Sinaloa. His wor is also a hybrid of the cultural duality that utilizes and combines iconography, symbols, metaphors, allegories, stealing, discarding, and experimenting with image from La Linea. His philosophy is a visual narrative...intuition, honesty, observation and imagination are the secrets to creativity.
