Christopher Schmidt is graphic designer and digital illustrator based in Houghton, Michigan. An avid cyclist and Nordic skier, he often draws inspiration for his work from the sights and scenes he encounters while exploring Michigan’s Keweenaw peninsula. Though trained in geophysics, he was led astray by his love of graphic design discovered in college out of necessity to help promote bike and ski races. In addition to creating his own work, he continues to produce event posters for races and festivals across the Midwest and beyond. https://www.xmaticdesign.com
