background, and an extensive knowledge of caricature and
graphic design. With assignments ranging from animation to
high performance automotive art, Istvan has become a
successful, and highly sought after commercial Artist. His
most notable work to date is the best selling "Protect
Wild Dolphins" Florida license plate commissioned by

Harvey, as Istvan aided in design and finalization of all
three plates.
