Who am I?
 My name is Keith Curtis and I am an Illustrator and Graphic Designer living in Port Angeles, Washington. I have a wonderfully supportive wife, a beautiful daughter, a big ol' slobbery French Mastiff named Jaxon and an inscrutable cat named Kelda.
Contact
I can be contacted through email at keithcurtis@gmail.com
This is my preferred method to handle business, since it makes tracking jobs much easier on me. If you would prefer to use the phone for business, I can be reached at
360-457-0502, normal business hours, Pacific Time.
Experience
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My first real job as an artist was in a tiny silk screen shop, where I illustrated T-shirts and learned what a color separation was. I have illustrated jewelry catalogs, prime labels, done logo design, newspaper advertising, and know enough about digital pre-press to have taught several workshops at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. I have an AA in Fine Arts from Merced Community College and a BA in Graphic Arts and Interior Design from CSU Fresno.
I am a full time artist, though I spread my hours between freelance and designing advertsing for our local newspaper. I offer an excellent turnaround time and do NOT miss deadlines.
History
Flexo printing: I have collaborated on numerous FINAT and FTA award-winning labels. I have taught several FTA-sponsored seminars at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I also have 20 years of experience in digital prepress, specifically in the flexographic field.
Cartooning: Daily Collegian 1985-1987. Staff artist and political cartoonist. Honorable Mention in ACP contest 1987.
Finisher, Cox Box for iSixSigma.
Why me?
Well, you may look on the sample images on the website for my style and abilities. Beyond that, I have over 30 years experience in graphic arts and illustration. I have a thorough understanding of the printing process and will not deliver an unprintable image. I also have much experience with the nature of computer-based graphics and am intimately familiar with Adobe Creative Suite, the primary imaging programs in the professional world. I also believe firmly in the importance of a deadline. I don't miss deadlines.
My major strengths are heroic, genre-based illustration and cartography, as well as a thorough understanding of pre-press technology.
