BIO

You’ll never meet a business man who can draw
and you’ve never met an artist who’s ALL business– until now.

 

The real Vince Palko

Thank heavens Vince Palko never had to take a single math class in college. If he had, he would have flunked out before he even started. Thank heavens he got a degree in a field he's been passionate about his whole life - art and design.

In college, Vince was also a champion athlete. Some think that has gone to his head. It may be the reason why his noggin sometimes bumps into lamps and things - it's way too big! While playing in college, some of Vince's football teammates joked with him thinking
he had taken one too many hits to the head to ever consider chasing his dream of becoming a world-class artist. He recalls many good friends offering sage advice, saying, "What are you going to do with that art degree, join the masses of starving artists out there?"

Well perhaps his helmet was worn a bit too tight over the years, cause Vince jumped right in there with all the other starving artists. However, Vince does not starve.  In fact, he has created a very successful career using his art talents and combining them with his keen business sense.
 
Vince started AdToons back in 2005. It's a business he's passionate about that leverages his art and enhances the average business' marketing campaign.  Learning from one of the most memorable marketing campaigns ever, the Charles Atlas Series, Vince creates funny and engaging cartoons for internet entrepreneurs- cartoons that stick in the minds of consumers for a long, loong time.   
 
Vince first teamed up with Matt Furey in early 2005 to bring AdToons to life. Together they created a series of internet ads and cartoons to promote Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning and later his Knock Out marketing products. 

He has over twelve years experience as a professional illustrator, conceptor, designer and advertiser. He has spent most of the last seven years working with Fortune Five Hundred companies (Nestlé, Dell, and Roche Pharmaceuticals) to create learning visuals for entire employee populations. Vince has over six years of practical, "in-the-trenches", stealth style marketing thanks to Dan Kennedy and Matt Furey. Getting several online businesses off the ground and performing well is where he developed and honed his marketing skills.

Vince also owns other successful websites, such as  Success Visuals and Triple Your Endurance. Focusing on personal development in the areas of health and wealth, these sites have helped thousands of people all over the world improve their lives. Vince's main website is VincePalko.com.
 
Vince's success in business and art is an extension of an amazing career in football and athletics. His discipline and drive gained from the sport carries over into all his businesses.

He graduated from Bowling Green State University with a BFA in Graphic Design, where he also started on the football team for four consecutive years. Out of school, he gained valuable experience as a young designer working for a reputable advertising and design firm in Hamburg, Germany.

Vince has three wonderful "little women" who are his daughters - all under the age of six.
