Patriotic Vision Zippo Lighter

Zippo is pleased to introduce two of Gibson’s designs, Patriotic Vision and First Mate .

Wintis Gibson calls himself a “big fan of fantasy illustration”, stemming from a childhood infatuation with sorcery and swords. It is from here, as well as from music, that he draws inspiration. “Music somewhat predetermines the type of drawing that I will do,” he explains. A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor Degree in animation, Gibson is currently working as an illustrator and freelance artist. “I love to be able to just go with what I am feeling and create what I can,” he describes. “It’s all me and I love the freedom to be able to draw whatever I feel.”
