Paul Dallas

Paul Dallas is a visual artist, educated at the Royal College of Art in London, England, and Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University) in Toronto, Canada.

His clients include the New York Times, Time, BusinessWeek, Spin magazine, Vibe magazine, Polygram Records, Stroh Brewery International, MTV and Canada Post Corporation, among others. Dallas has won over 150 international awards from American Illustration, Communication Arts Illustration Annual, Communication Arts Design Annual, the New York Society of Illustrators, the New York Art Directors Club, the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, the U.K. Design & Art Directors Club (D&AD), Print Regional Design Annual, Print A-Z, Graphis, the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), the American Advertising Federation’s ADDY awards, The National Magazine Awards, Black Book AR100, Visual Impact, Studio, Coupe International Design & Image Competition, Applied Arts Awards Annual, Applied Arts Illustration Contest and the Advertising & Design Club of Canada (A&DCC), including Gold and Silver medals for several illustrations housed in the permanent collection of the Royal Ontario Museum. Dallas' work has also been featured on the cover of Adweek magazine and has been animated for American network television commercials. He has exhibited in New York, London, Paris and Toronto.

Dallas has served as a juror for the National Magazine Awards, 3x3 Annual Illustration Awards, the Applied Arts Photography & Illustration Annual, the Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators (CAPIC) “Unleashed” contest, Instagram Election Sticker Competition and the Juno Music Awards. He was appointed Chair of the Illustration program at the Ontario College of Art & Design in 2004 and served in this position for an unprecedented 15 years during its transition to OCAD University, transforming the program from one of the institution's smallest to its largest. Dallas also served as Assistant Dean in the Faculty of Design while maintaining his position as Program Chair of the Illustration Program in 2005/2006.

In 2012, Paul Dallas was named “Artist / Educator of the Year” by New York’s 3x3 Magazine, selected from candidates representing 17 countries for his contribution to the Illustration community and development of OCAD University’s Illustration Program, reviewed externally as "among the best ideas in illustration education," resulting in "the top tier of undergraduate illustration programs in North America."

In 2016, OCAD University awarded Dallas with the "Alumni of Influence Distinguished Educator Award," OCAD U’s highest non-academic honors for alumni achievement.

And in 2019, marking his 25th year teaching, Dallas was prematurely eulogized as “venerable and inspiring” by a Pulitzer Prize winner.

Paul Dallas maintains a position as Professor with an active practice.
