MAXK Art + Design

Hi, I’m Max

I’m a graphic Designer and art director based out of Bastrop, Texas. I’ve worked for years as art department on commercial and film sets, and now specialize in branding and promotional projects.

I’ve worked on projects with directors like Richard Linklater, Spike Jonze and Robert Rodriguez, and was an Art Director talent at Rooster Teeth.

These days I am a freelancer who makes clients designs come to life, and I’m also a proud father to a bunch of cows.

This is my son, Lafayette.
He is a sweet guy.

These are some designs from my grass-fed beef company, Bastrop Cattle Co, which every aspect of has been designed by me.

Design work

As you will quickly note, most of my work here is stuff that is funny or off-kilter, but don’t be fooled. I am no stranger to making 37 variations of a realtors sign, or doing a seamless photoshop portrait to take your actor’s low res headshot into a period piece costume.
It’s just a little less visually exciting than the silly stuff.

I have been using all the Adobe tools for over 15 years. As someone who has worked in print shops and in edit rooms, I know how to format files to ensure that there are no headaches when getting them printed out or integrated into your project. While my background is art department on film/tv, I am able to handle any challenge you might have for your project.

Looking forward to talking with you soon!

The film “Blood Fest”(2018) featured a festival that celebrated horror movies. I designed the poster for the festival, as well as all of the featured fictional movie posters that were prominently displayed
