| Hello.
My name is Mike
Stanfill and I want to be your freelance
graphic provider. I'm handy (get it?) with illustration,
web
and print design,
Flash animation, and just about anything that involves a computer
and an active imagination. From Los Angeles to Chicago to New
York to Florida (Man! I'm getting dizzy.) I can do it all for
you without even getting out of my Garanimals. Take a
look at all I have to offer and give me a call if there's anything
I can do for you that doesn't involve heavy lifting or advanced
math skills. |

| Illustration
- In 3rd grade I
discovered I could gross out the girls by drawing pictures
of dead guys
with big, slimy worms oozing out of their nostrils. It was
such moments that crystallized my desire to become a working
artiste,
which I eventually did. Since leaving college I've been freelancing
as a commercial illustrator in Dallas, Texas, developing graphics
for newspapers, magazines, print ads, technical & medical
journals, children's books, greeting cards, T-shirts, brochures,
business cards, storyboards and just about anything else that
involves print or pixels. Click the icon to your left for a
few examples. |

| Web
Design - In
the mid-90's I decided it was time to get my feet
wet
in this "internet" thing,
so I proceeded to build an online illustration
portfolio using a few books on HTML for reference and good
old Simpletext. Eventually I got good enough at designing web
sites
that I started getting the occasional assignment. Now web development
makes up about half of my business and I've created or redesigned
close to a hundred different digital venues. Click the image
to your left for a choice selection of my favorite
sites. |

| Flash
Animation - Way
back
in 1997 I won an online contest, sponsored
by the late and lamented Mac Addict, by creating
an
animated GIF. The
prize included a handful of software titles, one
of them being a copy of Flash, Version One. I
was fascinated by the potential of this program but the way
it handled sound was unwieldy. Then Version Four
was released, with MP3 capability, and there was
no
looking back.

| Print
Design - Every
business eventually needs a logo, or a business card, or a brochure.
Or an ad, or a banner, or a magnetic sign for the side of the
truck. Short of designing an entire catalog I can handle just
about all your print needs. So click the link over there and
take a gander at some of my recent assignments. |

| Comics
- For about six years I made
a valiant attempt to join the likes of Berkley Breathed, Bill
Watterson,
and Gary Trudeau on the daily funny pages. I managed to get
close a time or two but just wasn't able to snag the Big Brass
Syndication Ring. So
to assuage my disappointment I'm presenting a choice collection
of what
I
thought were my
best
concepts
to you, the humor-starved public. |

| The
Infinite Cat Project - What
started out as a peculiar diversion, cats watching cats watching
cats, caught the public's fancy in a most spectacular fashion
and now the project has set up shop on its own domain, www.infinitecat.com.
I maintain this vestigial link on this page because several
hundred sites still point here. If you haven't anything better
to do for the next hour or so, go visit this fuzzy flight of
fancy. |
