Hi everyone, I’m Tristan Cole, a Class of 2022 Graphic Design Major at Oregon State University. My aesthetic is currently inspired by the aesthetic of old school advertising, swiss-style, and pop art comics. Below you will find my answers to generic Icebreaking questions.
What’s your favorite music? Johnny Horton, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, 90s Country, and really anything popular from the 1940s through 1960s.
What do you do in your free time? Well, I listen to music, play games on my PC, hunt waterfowl, go fishing, doodle cartoons, work on my El Camino, watch ice hockey, and paint on items probably better left unpainted.
What got you into art and design? My dad always sketched different species of waterfowl. So seeing a ton of realistic drawings of ducks and geese growing up. And Bob Ross. I owe a lot of my initial and lasting interest in art to the man with chipmunks on his shoulder and happy little trees. Nothing like spending childhood mornings staring at Pthalo Blue, Yellow Ochre, and Cadmium Red.
Well, I hope that gives you a glimpse into who I am!
