Me
Crady’s work fuses engineering precision with artistic imagination, resulting in museum-quality fine art prints. Signed, numbered, and archival, his editions reflect a lifelong pursuit of innovation and creativity — crafted to inspire, made to endure.
A Snapshot
My career history reads like a police blotter: mop jockey, weldor, mechanic, doorman, gofer to a Saudi Prince, and, after †going back to school, electrical engineering with a division of Bristol Myers Squibb, followed by the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Lab, and then as an Applications Engineer in Singapore. Eventually, I found myself back in the US and without even realizing it, had become a web pioneer, digital artist, multimedia creator, and AI art innovator.
†Sometimes, someone you respect can say something completely innocent that sticks with you for life—even motivates you. Many years ago, Seattle radio legend John Maynard told my Mother: “Crady is the most talented bum I’ve ever met.” For perspective, that was a time in my life when I was adrift, and I truly believe that comment helped push me to get my shit together—so, thanks John.
Note to John: I still owe you for the fuel injection/head rebuild debacle—if you’re reading this, please send me the bill. (Sorry, I totally misunderstood the mission.)
Early Years
In 1995 I discovered the Worldwide Web, and by the late ’90s I had founded a small web design company called Mad Rhino Productions—back when the Internet was still the wild west and artists that learned HTML and Flash were helping shape the landscape of web design and motion graphics (at one point Macromedia graciously invited me to speak at a Flash Forward conference, but crippling glossophobia kept me from accepting.) During those years I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to produce websites and digital content for brands like Intel, Samsung, JVC, Disney, Lotus Cars USA, and Microsoft.
