His unique and easily identifiable technique coupled with his easy to relate to subject matter has made him a success with both art critics and art collectors.   Born and raised in Minnesota, Leroy Neiman developed an affinity for art at an early age.

While in Chicago, he met and befriended Hugh Heffner and began his career as a regular illustrator for Heffner’s Playboy magazine in 1956.
