About Larry M. Beasley...aka Larry Beasley, Larry Michael Beasley and Lawrence to my friends at the Renaissance Faires


	Formerly of Austin, Texas; I presently lurk in a secret undisclosed location somewhere North of Chicago and South of Milwaukee. I'd call this place the Batcave but there are no bats in my basement. My belfry is another story entirely. I have over twenty years experience in pre-press; large format color; display/trade-show graphics; customer service; small department management; inventory control and vendor relations. I'm proficient with the Adobe CS3 Suite (Photoshop; Illustrator; InDesign; Acrobat; Dreamweaver and Flash) and Quark Xpress. I also dabble in Bryce, Daz Studio, Poser and Modo. For the past four years or so, I've been working strictly on Mac networks. I started out working with PCs but the print world is (with a few exceptions) uniformly Mac. I'm not really comfortable with the graphic designer label (graphic mechanic might be a better description). I've spent a good chunk of time on the job repairing, tweaking and bashing digital files supplied by graphic artists into a printable form. To be fair, Adobe and Quark love to write new cool-looking features and plug-ins that are not supported by current commercial RIPS. The semi-official resume is here. I have sold my personal art at small art and renaissance/fantasy faires. A rather demanding undertaking when you have to hold down a full-time plus job. However, I can't think of any other locale I could pick a fight with a half-dozen inebriated fraternity types and end with a healthy sales figure from their girlfriends (always have the jewelry case ready before the brothers close in). Hoo Zah!!! My images are divided into four categories: analog, digital, commercial and effects. There are unfortunately a lot of blanks in my portfolio. Once upon a time, I lived in a ground floor apartment with poor drainage during a very wet spring. If anyone out there stumbles across anything of mine (specifically some of my old cartoons for Austin Magazine: "Go South Young Man"; "Exercise: The Fountain of Youth" or the piece for "The Bevo Cookbook") please forward an image. All submissions will be given a nice dry home. ....Larry M. Beasley June 27, 2009

Sanity is not an absolute!!!

Sanity is only relative!
