• Kyle Dreier ~ Artist. Business Man. Lobotomy Candidate.

For nearly my entire life and career I have been involved in out-of-the-box ventures. Turn the clock back to the early 70s and you would see me capitalizing on the sale and distribution of Pop Rocks prior to their arrival to the 48 contiguous states. Needless to say, the common thread through everything I do is my creative approach. I can attribute this non-traditional path to my parents who are off the chart creative.

More about me...
Yes, I'm a recovering designer and illustrator. I do the creative aspects of DogBark.com such as advertising and marketing. I also handle some customer service. Because of my previous experience as the art director of American Way magazine, the owner of a small design studio and a freelance illustrator I'm just as cynical as most creative old timers. Feel free to call and vent or simply pontificate the state of the creative industry.

I'd be happier if ...

• I could just run a business and not worry about money.
• we could get all our customers together for a big party.
• I could paint, draw, create and have a place to put all these things.
• people would read our policies and adhere to them.
• lightening hadn't of zapped my iMac, router and DSL modem at home.
• my 1990 Toyota 4Runner got better gas mileage.
