ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Michael Spears, Graphic and Web Designer

Mike's road through the world of graphic design and art direction has taken many twists and turns. He took his B.A. in Fine Art from SUNY Albany, and, after a few years of experimenting with various occupations, fell in love with Graphic Design.

Design is his passion and his inspiration. He has a masterful knowledge of creative software and a true understanding of its place within the arsenal. He also knows what a pencil is, and he's not afraid to use it! He has stayed true to his roots as an artist, and will always be grateful to his mentors who have inspired him.

When he's not in front of his computer, you will most likely find him on his bike, logging another 20 miles or so in his never-ending quest for the fountain of middle-age! His family would call him an "incurable insomniac," because he frequently keeps them up at night, chasing down yet another logo idea! One thing is for certain: his best work is yet to come!
