Although I was born in Texas, I lived here just my first few years and then moved to a series of other places with my family.
Then in 1985, when I started working for the local newspaper, the Austin American-Statesman, I was back in Texas. Been here ever since.
Currently, I design six of the seven American-Statesman newsprint business sections published during the week. Prior to that I was a graphic artist and graphics editor for this newpaper and at another in Arizona.
Away from the Statesman I design, illustrate, create graphics and construct web sites. ZephyrStudioAustin.com is my design.
(P.S. Although the temperature can get hot in Texas, I usually wear more clothing outside the house. This photograph was made during my early years in Texas.)
