Gabriel Tick is an award-winning director and visual artist.
As a native New Yorker he spent the 90’s being heavily influenced by NYC’s downtown culture and taking classes as a teenager at SVA and Cooper Union.
In the early 2000’s, while earning his BFA from Parsons School of Design, Gabriel began working as an illustrator for New York City apparel brands, record labels and animation productions.
In 2006, his work for the Dr. Octagon “Trees” official music video aired on TRL. He spent the next decade working as an artist and animator in the Brooklyn, NY motion graphics scene experimenting with gfx, video and CGI work.
In 2015 he joined long time collaborator and close friend, Matt Schoen at VICE to oversee the creation of VICELAND, helping visually transform the notorious hipster-skate-punk magazine into a TV Network. During this time he and Matt co-created VICE Visual Studios.
In 2021 Gabriel founded his independent creative studio, Studio Union which he oversees as the owner and director.
Gabriel works from his studio mixing creativity and technology often with collaborators, commissions or on self-indulgent ‘arts’.
