Reggie Holladay was born in Virginia and moved to Hollywood, Florida at a young age and spent his teenage years in the Fort Pierce area. After attending the Ft. Lauderdale Art Institute, the Fort Lauderdale News "took a chance on him" and hired him as an illustrator, preparing him for a later stint at the Miami Herald.
Encouraged by the freedom weekend freelance work afforded, Reggie struck out on his own, a decision he's never regretted. Now a full time illustrator artist, Reggie relishes taking his time on a piece, dropping the brush only when he's completely satisfied, and not under the demands of an art director. He weathered the change computers brought to the graphic arts industry through the '90s and still works traditionally, illustrating children's books and producing original works from his home in Satellite Beach. Reggie's works are inspired by his love and passion for surfing. If there is a good swell, you will always find him enjoying the surf.
Reggie has been an illustrator for over thirty years, creating advertising illustration and childrens books. He has received several awards over the years for advertising, from Print Magazine, Communication Arts Magazine, etc., but in his down time, with no deadlines he fashions paintings that involve the sport he loves.
