TOM PAPPALARDO Grafiker, Keyframer, Sequentialist, Yapper, Heel

I've been graphically designing, illustrating, and writing since the early/mid '90s. I am always knee-deep working on either client projects or my own dumb stuff. At various times over the last couple of decades I have played the role of graphic designer, illustrator, cartoonist, art director, audio mixer, foley artist, copy editor, Powerpoint creator, writer, layout dude, web designer, web programmer, voiceover artist, comic book publisher, graphic novelist, music editor, author, radio talker, incredibly inept guitarist, and animator. My full freelance portfolio can be found at standard-design.com

Born and raised in the city of Haverhill, Massachusetts (also the hometown of John Greenleaf Whittier, Rob Zombie, and Tom Bergeron—commonly known as "The Three Tenors") Commuted to MassArt for awhile and majored in sitting in an abandoned cafeteria. Worked some god-awful chain store retail. Moved to Northampton, Massachusetts; grew particularly fond of semicolons, sentence fragments, and em dashes—decided to stay.
