Dynan and Rosanell Cheatham. Both parents were employees of (Hallmark Cards ). Dynan's father was a platemaker in the photographic lab and his mother was an artist and card designer. Eventually, the Dynan family moved to Wilmington, Delaware; St. Louis, Missouri; Regina, Saskatchewan; Stockton, California, Montgomery, West Virginia; Lawrence, Kansas; and Macomb, Illinois. Dynan joined the US Army Security Agency in 1966 and served at (Kagnew Station ) in Asmara, Ethiopia. After leaving the military, Dynan worked selling art on the streets of London, then returned to the US to attend (Western Illinois University ), where he received a B.A. in English and Political Science in 1973. His first art exhibit was held at the University Students Union in 1972. Inspired by commercial success, he went on to design stationery and cards for the University. After graduation, he spent more time painting and by 1978, launched Starbound Productions 〔 *''Sacramento Magazine'', May 1982, Pg. 13〕 a California greeting card company that featured his work. The widespread distribution of his images gained him an international following. His work was published in Japan by The Graphic Factory, in France by the White Press, in the UK by Rainbow Bridge, and in the Netherlands by Verkerke Reprodukties * 〔''Auburn Journal'', July 29, 1984, Page B-1, "PHIL DYNAN: Cards, posters 'best sellers", by Julie Knisley〕 He was originally represented by the Michael Himovitz Gallery in Carmichael, California. A series of nudes and flowers done for an exhibit at the Himovitz resulted in his work, "Martine", being selected for the 1984 Print Magazine Regional Design Annual.〔Print Magazine, July–August 1984, Page 85.〕 During the 1980s he began designing running art for major marathons. His first image was used by the California International Marathon in 1988. IMG ((International Image Group )) hired Dynan in 1993 to produce fine art images reproduced as serigraphs for their San Francisco Marathon. Dynan worked with IMG up til the end of the Century, when the San Francisco Marathon was sold to another company. During the 90's and currently, Dynan still produces Marathon art for races such as the Redding Marathon,〔Red Bluff Daily News, December 28, 2004, cover, 7A〕 the Russian River Marathon, the Whiskeytown (CA) Relay, and the Rocklin (CA) Run. His work is also licensed to various other groups and race events. Currently, Dynan paints from his studio in Northern California.
