Tireman Studio / Shogo Ota
------------------------------------------------------------
Although Shogo hails from Japan, he has called the Pacific Northwest home for more than a decade. Shogo graduated with a BFA from the University of Idaho, which landed him an internship at Modern Dog, located in the caffeinated city of Seattle, Washington. For over 5 years, Shogo whittled away ideas in over 5
sketchbooks, helping Modern Dog with clients such as Seattle Aquarium, Blue Q, Live Nation, and Chronicle books, to name a few. His faith in the sketchbook was also responsible for securing him a spot in the grandly titled: Graphic:Inside the Sketchbooks of the World's Great Graphic Designers, authored by Steven Heller and Lita Talarico. His work has also been featured in Communication Arts, The Stranger, The New York Times and various other publications. Shogo Ota established Tireman Studio in 2012 with the help of his wife, his cat, his dog, his bunny, and a guy named Peter Shin. He will start teaching at SVC (Schoold of Visual Concept) from 2013.
