Hi, I’m Jon. Originally from the Metro Detroit area, I now live in Seattle, WA with my wife Erin and our cat, Perl. I studied illustration and design at Columbia College Chicago and would probably like to get back to the Midwest some day. I enjoy drawing, comics, screen printing and am admittedly kind of OCD. I also enjoy noodling on guitars and banjos and singing, and was one-half of the two-piece band, Old Big Bear.

How Can I Help You?

I approach new projects with the belief that drawing can breathe life into otherwise bland designs and create a dialogue with the viewer. Traditional and digital illustration, cartoons and comics, screen printing, and graphic design for print and the web (including HTML, CSS, Flash) are all things that I love to do. If you need a drawing, a flyer, graphics for a website or anything else along these lines, feel free to contact me to discuss your project and see how I can help.
