ABOUT ME
HISTORY
MY BUSINESS
Long before I started this freelancing business, I was selling my art. I grew up in a screen-print shop owned by my dad and I learned graphic design from a young age. Middle school is when I actually began selling my designs. One shirt had my principals face on the front and a quote of his on the back. The quote was “This is BA not BK, you can’t have it your way.” I kept the box in my assistant principals office and sold them all. In high-school I put a speaker system with a subwoofer in my truck and a lift with rims on it by selling shirts. In college I sold beer themed t-shirt and imagine this, the money I made paid for my beer. It was also in college, in 2014, I started a lifestyle apparel brand with my dad called WhatTheFin. After 8 years of working there, in August of 2022, I left the company.
In January of 2023 I opened this freelance business to offer my art to the world. I’ve been graphic designing since 2007. I’ve been photographing and filming since 2015. And I’ve been painting since the spring of 2024.
Today you can book me for photos, hire me for graphics, or commission paintings, or buy my originals. You can also get your hands on my art by ordering my stickers, t-shirts, painting prints, and photo prints from my Etsy shop.

ABOUT
ME, KEATON
In addition to art, I love to fish and play sports. Fly fishing is how I’ve spent most of my time on the water in the last few years. As an artist, tying my own flies has also been fun to get into. When it comes to type of fish, bass are definitely my favorite simply because learning how to catch them made me fall head over heels with fishing. I love the process, the overall experience, and spending time in God’s creation. When it comes to sports, soccer is my first love. I spent the first 20 years of my life dedicated to it and went on to play college ball at the division one level. Now, in my late twenties, basketball is what I play the most.
If I had to pick a favorite movie series, it would be The Lord Of The Rings. Second would be The Pirates Of The Caribbean. If I had to pick a favorite TV show, it would be The Last Kingdom or Rings Of Power.
ABOUT
mY FAM
There's a lot really but there are two things in particular I want you to know.
The first thing being that I believe in Jesus Christ. I truly believe He is the Son of God, that He died on the cross to forgive us of our sins, and that He rose from the grave and is today in heaven, interceding on our behalf, preparing to return. It was in May of 2017 that I first repented of my sins, surrendered my life to Jesus, and became a child of God. My whole life has changed for the better since I came into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. He is my Lord, my Savior, and my closest friend.
The other thing I want you to know is I'm married to a wonderful, incredible, amazing women named Cameron who has loved me and supported me in ways I didn't know another human could. She's the love of my life and in many ways, I'm running this business for her and our future kids. She is also a renowned and expert level wedding photographer and has really helped me grow as a photographer and freelance entrepreneur. Often I blessed with the opportunity to second shoot weddings with her. Together we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. And we both love to game.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking time to read about me. If there is anyway I can help you, please reach out to me. I would love the opportunity to use my gift of art to serve you.
Sincerely,
Keaton Hinze
