Frank Chimero is a graphic designer, illustrator, teacher, writer, & creative person in Portland, Oregon.

Statement

My fascination with the creative process, curiosity, and visual experience informs all of my work in some way. Each piece is the part of an exploration in finding wit, surprise, honesty, and joy in the world around us, then, trying to document those things with all deliberate speed before they vanish.
