You Can’t Be An Expert in All Those Things, Right?
I'm a problem solver. I kick butt in every role. And often asked to take on new roles. But don’t take my word for it. Email design@vashton.com to setup an short interview.
Where Is The New Work?
Agency based art from the past several years is unavailable for review. Instead, clients are protected by a plethora of wonderful privacy and non-disclosure agreements. My multimedia and mentoring work in the community is also prolific but not portfolio friendly. So although it is a bummer you will won‘t see any of the really cool stuff, it protects client interests. Ye old portfolio is still available, just to give you some idea.

Thanks so much to all the fans who traffic and buy my art. But technologies change, and every site comes with a cost. So I let it go for awhile. But be on the lookout for old material and fresh goodies as I repopulate the server. And again, thanks for the support.

What Roles Did You Fulfill During Your Agency Position?
Did I use hard-skill X while at Y agency? Agencies allow me to experience the full variety and workload intrinsic to the title, without some of the production hassle. But I can be high-energy as a designer. So all of my aforementioned skills and title roles were really applied at some point. Except maybe puppetry. And I must admit, I’m rather disappointment about that.
