Given his first break by veteran comics artist Dan Adkins,[2] Bingham's first professional job was a short piece in World's Finest #251 (July 1978). From there, Bingham went on to draw comics for Marvel, First Comics, TSR, Malibu Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Heavy Metal, and others.
Leaving comics in the late 1990s, Bingham moved to the West Coast, where he did production art for the movies, designing props, special effects and monster make-up. He contributed design work for Disney theme parks, shopping centers, Universal Studios, and even the Hollywood Christmas Parade. In addition, Bingham has illustrated paperback, game, and magazine covers.
Bingham attended the American Academy of Art, the Scottsdale Artists School, the California Art Institute, and UCLA.
