Kelly has been around the advertising design block a few times. She has been Senior Art Director at Parker & Wood (San Antonio) and Nourzads (Austin), a Senior Designer at Williamson-Dickie (Fort Worth), and has done contract work for more companies than you'd want to read about. Her production skills were honed with direct marketing giants Hart Hanks and Advo, the latter of which once sent a mailing to every address in the U.S.

A framed document confirms that she graduated from art school in the Pre-Macintosh Age. So she knows how to use all the arcane tools of the trade, which will come in real handy if this computer thing turns out to be just a passing fad.

In her spare time, she likes to watch the television. As Karen Black once said, "There's some good thangs on it sometimes."

Kelly with Maxon Crumb (San Francisco 1995).
If you're not hip to Maxon's fantastic artistry,
the movie CRUMB is a good place to start.

Assisting Kelly in the design department is a talented young designer named Kristin Bruno.

Kristin graduated Magna Cum Laude from the fine design program at Texas State University, so apparently she's pretty good. She's extra-curricular, too, having been Vice President of TSU's student chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Her collegiate graphic designs won awards in the Houston Show and Creative Summit, and a poster she did was chosen for the Southwestern Writers Collection.

You can trace Kristin's stock to Woodstock. Not the festival, but the town itself. What a local poet once called an "American art colony." What Kristin remembers as "an absolutely gorgeous place" that remains a major source of natural inspiration, artistic and otherwise.
