Today's Resident interview is with Dan Ossandon Dan studied graphic design at Chaffey College in California. After his education he worked various screen printing jobs off and on for 7 years, which when given his knowledge of design, led to his interest in mixing the two worlds. Working mostly with print, Dan likes to use vibrant colors and human shapes and forms to create work that is self-reflective of his life and environment. His Imagery comes from the the experiences and interactions he has on a daily basis. He will be featured in an exhibition this coming Friday at 5 p.m. at 1028 sw Adams St. so be sure to swing by and check out his work yourself. Great work Dan!
