Michael Parenteau

I am an artist and designer in Columbus, Ohio. I am employed full time but also find time to freelance design projects for print and web marketing. I also find time to paint and illustrate.

My hobbies include reading anything of a linguistic or etymological nature, philosophy & religion, Art shows, cinema, internet, cooking, beer, wine and spirits, and anything that I can learn. I am passionate about creativity.

I am married to a beautiful woman and my best friend, Jennifer Mae. We have a beautiful daughter, Sophia Rose, who is a real inspiration from which we learn from daily.
Here is my “Snake Breath” photo created for the “don’t mess with me” photo competition on the goteaminternet.com community site.  I used a photo taken of myself on my mac, the snake photo and stuffed animals in the background were compliments of Google, and the image was my own creation using Photoshop CS3. More of my digital photo art can be seen by viewing my myspace page, which is a similar process with custom coding for my myspace layout. Another piece I did is on my own site (michaelparenteau.com) which was a spring 08 calender.
