In 1879 a group of radical fundamentalist Manichaeists founded a small and dedicated graphic arts shop called Officina de Esuriens Lacerta (Studio of Hungry Lizard) with the goal of producing the best art the world had ever know.

Unfortunately they discovered that the Mac had yet to be made. Dejected and depressed they returned to their native Bivalent and produced nothing but bad poetry.

Now, it's my turn.

Years of experience in digital pre-press, critical color correction, industrial design, illustration, dragon slaying, barbecuing, and graphics arts give me the ability to do just about anything you might need. I've got my weak points, don't care for web site building, but I'm constantly learning and adapting.

My current clients include:
Starship Modeler
Bank One
Now & Zen
Primal Wear
Fist Full of Stamps

Give me a call, let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
