December 2008 - Midwest CEO Magazine Interview
Goat Locker Section



ILLUSTRIOUS ILLUSTRATIONS

“I’ve always been a doodler,” Curtis Tucker says as he thinks back on his road to success. In high school, Tucker did odd jobs designing logos and mascots for local businesses in his hometown of Enid, Oklahoma. But when college rolled around, he decided it was time to refine his doodles and become a graphic designer.

Before long, Tucker was an advertising director responsible for producing what he calls “just your basic graphic design stuff.”

Truly the pioneer of Internet-based cartoon sales, Tucker was in high demand as nearby as his own backyard and as far away as Bahrain. Today, the cartoon entrepreneur has numerous sites (like curtoons.com) to promote his illustrations, a blog (curtistucker.com) and an online greeting card company (chuckleberrys.com)—not bad for a guy who admits: “I basically made up all the rules as I went along.”
