Me, Myself and I
i live in kansas city, misery via summit county, colorado via kansas city (needed the snow).
i would have to say i was lured into design by transworld magazines. My friends were all obsessing over their tricks and the articles and i always found myself skipping over the articles for the ads and new board graphics. i loved the ads, i loved the graphics, i loved how the branding changed constantly and most of all, i loved to rock a good logo... it meant i was part of something that only the people in the deal knew what it was about.
So i guess that is what I'm trying to do with what my art/design is keep stuff random, abstract as possible (client willing) and keep kids wanting to be a part of a brand. I currently work primarily in online and product as far a delivery but i'm just as happy with any medium.i also birthed www.alycium.com, a skate snow lifestyle company with a few friends and still are working like crazy on that.
In the last few years my work has been recognized by organizations such as Graphis, Rockport Publishers, Index Book, AIGA, the ADDYs and showcased in numerous industry blogs. In addition, my work was awarded the Yahoo! Big Idea Chair, received Best of Show Interactive at the 2005 National ADDYs and was featured in the Red Bull Art of Can exhibition.
