WELCOME PLEASE to the new Tom Babbitt Design web site. The URL "www.artisanking.com" reflects the brand "Artisan King" I've used in the past (and may use in the future) that has followed various commercial design projects I've worked on. Sorry for any confusion.

Have fun. This is a portfolio of the different ways creative energy has blown through me over many years... I've become a jack-of-many-trades, I guess—and arguably a master of very few—but it's the "way in" that interests me. The process of discovering how to work in different mediums is an activity in itself. Manifestation is so magical—a passing, ethereal idea becomes a "thing" that stands up and supports someone's weight or inspires someone to action or spurs another on to create what they're creating; and so the loop feeds back and back. We birth something and then have to let it go, watching as the offspring walks off in a direction we never expected... None of it ever "belongs" to us. It comes from "somewhere" and goes to "who knows where..." We just get to be like a flute that some wind blows itself through. Not at all a bad position to be in; quite a high honor, really. Thank you for visiting.
