Hi there.  Tony Potter here.  From the long wintered city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I apologize for not updating this web site for several years. Time has slipped by a bit quicker than I would like to admit. It IS on my list of things to do.

As for 'who' I am... I was born/raised in/around Knoxville, TN. Quite the country boy actually. I seem to have entered the world with a desire to draw/ paint/ sculpt/ create/ write/ photograph/ etc. and have always been "drawn" to drawing. I received my BFA in Art Education focusing on illustration and design from Austin Peay in Clarksville, TN. Teaching is something I love to do, but teachers, being a neglected resource, turned me toward computer graphics. It suited me fairly well. Aside from a little freelance design, I am currently employed at Rockwell Collins, Inc. in Cedar Rapids where I work on ads, brochures, trade show graphics, etc.

As I mentioned, I really enjoy drawing, though I am about to take the leap into oil painting. Currently when I paint, I do quite a bit of watercolor or acrylic washes over my drawings. My "style" leans toward children's illustrations or portraits.

For design work, I mostly use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and misc other applications. My "style" leans toward the 'clean' or 'classic' look. I see the computer as more of a 'tool' or 'brush', not so much an 'easy button'.

In addition to design and painting, I also enjoy writing/illustrating children's stories, many of which I make up as bedtime stories for my little girl, and low end photography.

Drop me a line if you like my work or if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks for stopping by. This site will be updated soon, I hope.... /crosses fingers.

Have a good one.

Tony
