About Me

An independent graphic designer looking for his breakout day.

After many years at a very unsatisfying job, I decided to break out a couple of years ago and learn graphic design. I got a degree from the local community college, and even though I've had a few modest successes, still no regular gig.

But I have actually had a paying client who loved the work I did for her (http://indigofrogpress.com) and have done layout for my local Sierra Club group.

I also adore drawing, painting, and writing. I am an inveterate diarist (I have both a blog and a paper diary), and carry art tools whereever I go. But I love design. I love print design. I love logo design. I want to be the next Paul Rand; failing that, the next Paul Arden. I don't think those are unachievable goals.

I am available for gigs–use me and abuse me! Please contact me through either my blog The ZehnKatzen Times or contact me by Email at zehnkatzen(at)gmail.com.

Here's a quick rundown of my toolkit:

  • Adobe Creative Suite, CS2, and CS3, including experience with Flash, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Contribute, and Acrobat
  • QuarkXPress 4 through 7
  • Mac OS X, Windows
  • Blogging with Blogger and Wordpress
  • Writing and Technical Editing

I also know basic HTML; that's how I styled this bio; with hand-typed HTML markup. Fear my m4d sKillz!

I live in Portland, Oregon, and am an native born Oregonian.

Hobbies:
Reading, Making art, Photography, Watching Films, Watching TV, Pets, Collecting
Favorite Movies:
Colossus: The Forbin Project, Kung Pow!, The War of The Worlds (1953 George Pál version), Airplane!, Deep Impact, The Right Stuff, more ...
Favorite TV Shows:
Space: 1999, Gerry Anderson's UFO, The Prisoner, Hell's Kitchen (American Version)
Favorite Music:
Electric Light Orchestra, The Outfield, 1970s and 1980s Pop, Duran Duran

    I'm coming out to Portland to visit in October to check out the area. Any places to check out worhtwile for jobs regarding art in the area. Basically, I was wondering how the art scene/graphic design field looks out there. I am trying to move out there and was curious about the are. I figure, I would ask someone from the area. Thanks

    The curator of the featured work, Valerie, has included my Afrtican Film Festival Poster design in this month's Art Bistro Design Gallery. Nifty!
