This section spans over thirty years from tracing paper sketches to digital vector art delivered press ready.

Looking into the past.

Old world techniques are still used to get the job done. In fact, prior to 1995 all graphic art was skillfully crafted by hand. Spending long hours producing camera-ready mechanical art boards for commercial printers.

Phototypesetting and amber overlays made the day while T-squares and circle guides were tools of the trade. In those days sketching ideas on tracing paper was usually the starting point.

Now, years later, with insight, Artist Butch M. combines experience from all worlds, old and new. Experience in most media opens the door for creativity. Solving marketing problems becomes much easier.

 Since 2007 I have been employed as a graphic artist at Golden Belt Printing, Inc. Located in Great Bend, Kansas.
The Golden Belt, America's Heartland.

Money doesn't motivate me -
it's the artwork on the currency
that does.
