Earl Burnley

Born as an Angeleno in Inglewood CA, first living in the Crenshaw district, he later spent his early schooling years in the neon dust-scape that is Las Vegas. The overstimulating signage inspired him to go into art at UNLV, starting as an illustrator, then fine art. Soon enough he picked up digital based graphics and brought his talents back to the greater LA area, turning his focus to Motion Design at Art Center.

Earl brings in 14 years of Art Direction and Creative Direction experience working on several large brands as AT&T, DC Comics, Apple, Google, Amazon, the four major US sports leagues, and FIFA.

Playing Playstation’s Wipeout series as a teen formed a stronger interest in design and art direction, as games still draw a source of inspiration for him, making Hammer a pleasant landing spot.
