what I got

My name is Alexander Smith. I'm an artist, designer and illustrator currently working in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

I grew up in an artist house; both my parents worked as storyboard artists, illustrators, colorists and designers. I spent much of my early life drawing and learning web and graphics programs. At Michigan State University, where I concentrated on drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, I came to love the marriage between traditional and digital. After graduating I cut my teeth at Doner Inc. There I worked on creating logos, event branding, print and collateral, web advertising and branding, web design and conceptual brand development.

Since then I've moved on to create brand identity, packaging design and other artwork for Bell's Brewery, Upper Hand Brewery and New Belgium Brewing. There I've had the opportunity to work as designer, art director, illustrator, and brand developer. 

I'm hard working, dedicated to the quality of every project, able to work within and oversee groups, and live to find creative solutions for every problem.

my weirdness

I get weird about certain things. My love of sandwiches is such that massive galactic bodies orbit around it. I think that lobsters are one of the more remarkable species because they live forever. I despise the mall, but love the flea market.

Here are 5 other things I like:

  1.   Dope headphones

  2.   Cool old dials

  3.   Good bread

  4.   Dinosaurs

  5.  Just palling around... you know. Just kickin it.

The preservation of The Great Lakes, the availablity of pho, and the continued survival of the Slender Loris will always be important to me. I'm ok at the original N64 Super Smash Bros. 

I'm not too sure about everybody else, but I know I like you.

 

Let's talk.

Why don't we go ahead and start a conversation.
