About

Tim Kapustka is an artist and graphic designer living in Durango, Colorado. The son of two teachers (science & 2nd grade), he has a solid grasp on 2nd grade science. He grew up on Michigan’s lower peninsula in the shadow of a Vlasic pickle plant and still has a thriving love affair with the city of Detroit, that city’s baseballers, the Tigers, and pickles.

By day, Tim runs Cabbage Creative, a graphic design firm and is a founding member of Studio & Gallery. When not at work Tim enjoys cultivating rust, pondering pinyons and junipers and standing knee deep in the rivers and streams of Southwest Colorado.

He has above average peripheral vision.
