Here’s a bio he posted online in 2004 when he was creative director of Drill magazine:

A veteran of the men’s magazine scene, French’s design background includes stints at a range of men’s magazines including Blender, Stuff, Maxim, Maxim Fashion, and FHM. He has also worked at USA Network and Mirabella. In addition, French’s pop-star illustrations appeared regularly in Blender.

He now works for AtticWitt.com, where his bio reads:

Gary French (The Art Guy) has over 10 years of experience overseeing creative design teams in editorial and advertising.

Gary’s most recent position was at the New York City headquarters of the U.K. based custom publishing house, John Brown Publishing. At John Brown, Gary developed and was Art Director of their first original title, Drill, a competitor to Maxim.

Gary began his design career at Hachette Filipacchi, eventually becoming Art Director of Popular Photography. He then moved to Dennis Publishing. At Dennis, Gary oversaw layout and illustration for the marketing and advertising materials of Stuff, Maxim and Blender.

Gary’s minor role at Blender would not have put him in close contact with Craig Marks, who was the editor of the magazine.
