FEATURED AUTHOR

William Fortune

Meet Author William Fortune

Bill Fortune is a cartoonist, artist, graphics designer, and history buff. After spending nearly 45 years in advertising as an Art Director/Creative Director, Bill decided to opt for the corporate side of business and currently works as a graphics supervisor for a retail catalog company.

Bill joined he Marine Corps in 1959 and was able to do some creative work with the Public Information Office after spending two years in the infantry. He began his advertising career after leaving the Marine Corps and studying at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. During his career he has worked for national advertising agencies in Los Angeles and Orange County California.

In the past, his advertising work has won him national recognition such as an Andy, a Clio and a number of local advertising awards. After the loss of a son-in-law to a drunk driver Bill volunteered his talents to the MaDD organization and received national recognition for his posters. But his first love is cartooning and he is always looking for opportunities to spend more time doing that.

He is a member of the Menifee Lakes Ward, in Menifee California and presently serves as High Priest Group Leader. Contact him at fortunefam@verizon.net
