Production Art

I spent seventeen years in the screen printing business, with a certain amount of time spent at the drafting table, in the darkroom, and running offset, screen and letterpress equipment. I followed this with several years of testing and reviewing computer equipment for several magazines, including Byte, Windows, MacWEEK, and Screen Printing. I was the art director of the Island Independent. If you need a simple flyer created you can probably find someone more creative, less expensive, and faster. (If you're looking for someone to do some "desktop publishing," please call somebody else.)

However, if your task is complex and depends on understanding unusual materials and processes, particularly if you will be doing similar work on an ongoing basis, I think you'll benefit from working with me.

Most work is done on a dual-processor G4 Macintosh, but I also have a wide range of Windows graphics software and can convert many files started on the PC. I have both digital and film cameras, scanners to 12 x 18,
