i’m alxndr. i am an illustrator, designer, and okay dude living and working in saint paul, minnesota. i like to make lines that tell a story and shapes that follow along. i’m inspired by vintage album covers, traditional tattoos, screen printing, and simplicity. i specialize in illustrations, packaging, branding, and layout … but i like to get my hands dirty and am down for just about any project. when i’m not making stuff in my studio, i can be found getting lost on a run while running way too many miles, writing terrible indie rock songs, gardening with my wife, or on a sushi date with my daughter.
