About Me, In Bullet Points
★ Professionally, I’m an independent graphic designer, illustrator, and After Effects animator. I like clean, flat, and bold. My portfolio is over at Standard Design. This site does not deal with that stuff. That’s why I have two sites. I mean, I have more than two sites. Honestly, I have too many sites.
★ Subprofessionally, which I’m pretty sure is a word, I’m an author, cartoonist, and an art-maker. I’ve released a few of books. I will release a few more. I have sold many coffee- and Massachusetts-related items on Etsy.
★ Unprofessionally, I write and yell songs in the drum & guitar duo The Demographic. We sporadically rock wicked hard. I occasionally do quieter solo stuff. I had a song on Car Talk once. I wore a weird mask in a PIXIES video once.
★ I live in western Massachusetts. I am from eastern Massachusetts. I live in a manky old house with a wonderful woman and a dog and two cats. I occasionally poke at a cruddy old 1966 Mustang.
