Larry Goode is a mixed-media artist known for thoughtful collages that explore humor, whimsy, and melancholy. Using found objects, antique paper, and paint, Goode creates scenes that clamor for touch, examination, and thought. “I try to instill in my work an ingenuous sense of wonder and curiosity, yet retain a sense of reflection and space. If I can achieve this, then I consider my work a success,” he says. Goode’s work has been included in the HBO series, The Leftovers, displayed at the Austin–Bergstrom International Airport, the Austin Public Library, and has been acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago’s special collections library and Seton Hospital’s permanent collection.Goode received his BFA from The University of Texas at Austin, and his MFA from Texas State University. He currently lives and works in Austin, Texas.

I am a graphic designer, illustrator and artist living in Austin, Texas. I started my professional career in 1986. My experience in the graphic design field extends from producing digital and print design for professional clients, to printing supervision and budgeting, to owning and operating a graphic design firm. I have created design and illustration for a diverse group of national and international clients including, CNN, Dell, Motorola, Mac World Magazine, Computer World, The University of Texas at Austin, Texas State University, and Inc. Magazine. My work has been recognized through awards from the Austin Ad Federation, Los Angeles Society of Illustrators and the Dallas Society of Visual Communication. I strive for effective and elegant creative solutions as is appropriate for each project. In addition, I am a professor at Austin Community College teaching graphic design and illustration.I primarily work on print projects. I can take projects from concept and design, to budgeting, to print management. I fill a need of digital agencies (and others) that need a print expert to produce client projects that they might not otherwise have the time or resources to take on. In addition to my print design experience, I enjoy, and have worked on numerous corporate and editorial illustration projects.
