Hi, my name is Percy Thompson. I have recently graduated with my BFA in Illustration from Kansas City Art Institute. I currently work food service at Starbucks, but I am always open to illustration or design opportunities. I have a strong preference for traditional illustration and printmaking, but I am also comfortable using digital tools like Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop. I utilize all these tools to mainly illustrate and design poster and flyer art. Balancing both school and work has helped me develop excellent time management and multitasking skills. I enjoy training new team members in my workplace and take pride in delivering great customer service. I'm passionate about art and eager to expand my experience in the design field.
