about

Straight No Eraser . . . Joseph Craig Asbell.
One in the same.


I have designed / created … paintings, logos, murals, silk screen printed posters, web pages, brands, full magazine layouts, album / band CD covers and layouts, promotional products, info-graphics, flyers, product packaging, brochures, client social media posts and especially custom shirt logos. 
I can not begin to count them all.

If I have the specifications …
 I can draw it.


Sometimes I take a nice photograph or two.



I am a geek for vector drawn graphics.

I keep my circle tight.

My clients are also my friends.
I am always happy to make new friends.

Let’s be friends.
