| Hello.
My name is Mike
Stanfill and I want to be your 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 Spiderman pajamas. 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. |

doesn't need a freakin moral, ethical, economical, or
political qualification; war does. Peace doesn't ravage,
plunder, rape, or kill; war does. Peace does not need
justification, war does." - Unknown |

| 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 coughed up the required dough and got myself an AOL account.
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

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. And here it is, in all its glory:
 Pretty
impressive, huh? The prize included a copy of Flash, Version
One. I
was fascinated by the potential of this program but I didn't
think it
was a fully
mature
product at
that time. Then Version Four was released, with MP3 capability,
and I was completely won over. Click the image
to your left, the green glob,
for a tasty sample of my Flash skills. |

| 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 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. |
