Jason Kingery

Jason Kingery is a graphic/web designer from Ottumwa, IA.

How did I get into graphic design? I’m going to attempt to answer that. I have been involved with computers for close to 15 years now. Back in the “hay day” I was involved with an ANSI Art group named, ummm, You know. I have been sitting here thinking, It’s been to long ago, I don’t remember what we called ourselves. It started with a “D” though.

Yeah, so I was doing this ANSI art, and wasn’t very good. About this time the RIPscrip format came out, I was finally able to draw with lines, and use the predecessor to the graphics you know today. I had always drawn and enjoyed art, but computers were my passion slowly moving along I was introduced to Photoshop, and from there I started learning HTML. I have stuck with it and now I consider myself pretty well affluent in HTML, CSS, PHP, and standards compliance. As well as being versed intimity with Photoshop.

So, I basically left my former passion for traditional art, and comic books behind me, as I moved forward into graphic design, and the inter web. The one day, I was talking to Chucko, of whom I have been friends with, as well as roomates with, for years, and he has always been an amazing artist. Anyhow, I was chatting it up with him, when he started talking about starting a Comic Book Studio, soon all the talk started to take grip, and here we are today, me getting to use my graphic design skills, as well as starting to get into the coloring aspect of comic books, and Chucko, finally getting his work published, and noticed. Even if we had to do it ourselves.
