About Me

Hi, I'm Colin Walsh. I was born and raised near Chicago,  Illinois and graduated from Southern Illinois University where I studied fine arts and advertising. In addition to a career in marketing, I have owned and operated 88graphics Company-serving both national and local clients for over 30 years.

​

I have since moved to  Southwest Florida where I continue to serve my longtime clients but have found many new clients locally as well.

​

My love for drawing and painting came at an early age and as long as I can remember, I have loved to make my ideas come to life. College prepared me for a life in advertising, but I was needed to run the family business and so I worked full time learning sales and marketing and took on graphics clients when I could.

​

I grew 88graphics completely through referrals , working full time and eventually married and had 2 wonderful children along the way. I always say I am the luckiest guy in the world.

​

My real-world training in Sales and Marketing helped me to understand how to brand the family business as well as my graphics customers. Over the years, I have been able to combine the two passions as a media and sales consultant for companies too busy to organize their brand and turn it into a powerful, efficient sales program.

​

I can take your business from a phenomenal service or product and turn it into a phenomenal service or product THAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT ! From logo design, to print and digital material, mailings and e-blast design and coordination, sales materials and proposal design to social media presence, signage and vehicle design.

​

I am also an award-winning Gallery Artist and also create custom wall art. I specialize in stylized portraiture and animal likeness. My work is completely created using digital computer elements, but still hand drawn.

​

Now- let's get started growing your business or creating something big for your walls!
