I work in the design group at GSD&M in Austin, Texas. I do freelance from time to time, but try (mostly unsuccessfully) to keep it to a minimum. I can be reached at 4thebetterdays@gmail.com for work.Went to the University of North Texas for communication design: graduated in the fall of 1999. Worked at 2 agencies in Dallas before moving to Austin to work at GSD&M in 2002. Been there ever since, except for one brief stint at a small agency in San Antonio for a year (which was actually responsible for most of the logos you may have seen).Thanks again for the compliments - I have no true idea how I developed my style. I've always been obssessed with letters, starting with graffiti as a kid in England (I moved to the States in 88). Got into calligraphy for a bit, then discovered graphic design in 96. I like to keep my style clean and precise - even when it's roughened in any way, it's very deliberate. Every notch and scratch is accounted for. Maybe I'm OCD. A lot of designers are, I think.I love logos for the challenge: there's sometimes nothing more intimidating than a blank screen or a blank sheet of paper in the first stages of logo development, but the minute you nail the concept is a sweet moment. Then you get to execute it, play around with style, and that's the fun part.My main inspiration, otherwise, has been T-shirt art. I love T-shirt illustrations - they're almost like logos in a way, telling a story or communicating a feeling in one brief encounter on the street or at the store. I've been inspired by more illustrators and designers involved in T-shirt design around the world than nearly anyone else.
