from the always spectacular District of Columbia!
I’m a freelance graphic designer & production artist. At least I was one...
...for over three decades! But the busy-ness of my business took a downturn in recent years, due to many factors. These days, I'm focusing more on my own art, or my own design-as-art and lifestyle-as-art, as somewhat explained in this website.
My “old” professional graphic design portfolio is located on Adobe’s Bēhance platform.
It’s not a lie to say my art is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum!
Or at least that it’s available to buy, exclusively through the experience of using an Art-o-mat® machine! Go find it, on the 3rd floor of the SAAM/NPG building in the Gallery Place/Chinatown neighborhood of Northwest.
Visit artomat.org for a complete description of artist Clark Whittington’s amazing longterm project.
Happening Live in Summer 2025!
In camaraderie with the 40th anniversary of Revolution Summer, the long planned Berman/Cole Collection silent art auction is set to happen at Lost Origins Gallery this coming summer. Details available soon enough.

I created a collection of fun & functional art-products, foremost for myself...
...but also because I hope other people will appreciate them, and want to buy them. The collection was conceived during the Covid-19 pandemic and realized thanks to my DIY-punk ideology and print-on-demand technology.
Some of my art-products were on display, last year, as part of the Hill Center Galleries 2024 Regional Juried Exhibition.
I’m a huge fan of Go-Go. Both the homegrown music and the basketball team.
The Capital City Go-Go play from November to March at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in the Congress Heights neighborhood of Southeast DC.
Where ya’ll from? Northwest Northwest!
Since 1989, my home/apartment has been located near 16th & U Street, NW — just one block south of Malcolm X Park and 12 blocks north of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
For over 10 years, I’ve maintained a Tumblr blog called “It’s art if I say so,” a quote from my favorite conceptual artist, Marcel Duchamp, as well as my answer to the eternal question “what is art?”
My collection is continually being improved and updated. Scroll horizontally to see the whole thing.
Available exclusively through the experience of using an Art-o-mat machine! Like the one in the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) Luce Center!
