  Guild member Will Bullas has been a member since 2011. He is the owner and creator within Will Bullas Studio in Carmel Valley, CA. Will Bullas describes himself as an artist:
  
  “I am comfortably ensconced between my classical training as a fine artist and my love of illustration and narrative. This combination elevates my work beyond a glorified sign painter.”
