Derrick Shanholtzer

I was born in New Jersey. I grew up in West Virginia. I live in Willimantic, CT

I am a Visual Art major at Eastern Connecticut State University. I've been a graphic designer since the age of 15. Starting out designing fliers for "punk" shows that I set up. I became completely enamored in design and taught myself everything I know. I graduated from Magnolia High School and took off 5 indulgent years before starting college in the fall of 2008.

The purpose of this site is to host my portfolio and chonicle my progress as a design student. I will update the site with all my past works and current projects.

I am an internet junkie and complete music dork. I nerd out about vinyl records, delay pedals, tube amplifiers, and the majesty of sweet riffs.

I play guitar and sing in One Hundred Year Ocean
I play drums in The World is a Beautiful Place & I am no Longer Afraid To Die
