Personal
My name is Patrick Michael Brewer, friends call me Mike, I am a Graphic Designer & Photographer.
I attended the Philadelphia Art Institute. I had every intention of begining my career in Graphic Design, but after the Art Institute I found a great start in Advertising and Marketing for a large music retailer in New York. It wasn’t until a couple of years later I transition into a Graphic Designer position with the same company. The combination of my training in Design and my experience in Advertising and Marketing proved invaluable.
I began taking photographs for projects I was working on as a Graphic Designer. Utilizing my skills in Photoshop and Illustrator to change and distort the original photographic image. As I started to become more involved in the photography process I studied the art and a new passion evolved.
I currently work as an Art Director for a Graphic Design firm in Poughkeepsie, NY. And operate FlashFwrd Photography & Design from my home. FlashFwrd provides everything from portrait, product & event photography to graphic & web design. You can find examples of my photography work at www.flashfwrd.com.

passion of mine is music, all kinds. Some of my favorite artists are listed below.
