Service, education, and the first professional work
The Army, art school, and GWAR
I served as a U.S. Army forward observer, earned a BFA in Communication Arts and Design from VCU, and started taking on professional design work. One early assignment was a poster and T-shirt for GWAR through Slave Pit. It was an unforgettable lesson in making work for a very specific audience.
