Hello
- My name is Brandon. I'm a graphic artist who cares deeply about the work that I make, and why it's being made. This site is full of samples of work that have been approved over the years, mostly graphic tees and logos, etc. You can read a little more about me on the profile page , see what I'm working on at Dribbble, and follow me on Twitter to keep up with daily happenings. Sometimes I write longer blog posts. I call them articles. You can read those here.
