About Carl King

About Me

Welcome to CarlKingCreative. I hope you enjoy my new "Play-Doh / Duct-Tape CSS." I have prolifically (and often obsessively) worked in creative design for 15 years; integrating print, web, video, and audio. The focus of my efforts here is to offer my talents and skills to independent artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors, directors, and the occasional malfunctioning android. My goal is to help creators in any way that I can.

Software & Hardware

My software arsenal: Adobe Creative Suite (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, and After Effects), Final Cut, Cubase, and Drumkit From Hell. All proudly up-to-date and officially licensed! Imagine that!

My website designs are a combination of XHTML, PHP, CSS, and Flash. I also write custom WordPress themes.

I have worked exclusively on Apple Computers since my Atari 1040STe was retired in 1998.

Creative Career

Some of you may already know I am a performance artist and musician under the pseudonyms: Sir Millard Mulch & Dr. Zoltan Øbelisk. Through that medium, I have performed, collaborated, or engaged in creative business ventures of questionable importance with Marco Minnemann, Virgil Donati, Nick D'Virgilio, Morgan Agren, Paul Mazurkiewics, Trey Spruance, Steve Vai, Eman Laerton, Dave Meros, Nils Frykdahl, Lale Larson, Larry Boothroyd, Devin Townsend, Brendon Small, Will Maier, and Eric Fensler. I've occasionally shown up in Modern Drummer, DRUM!, Kerrang, and Decibel Magazine. Read my Timeline for more details.

Writing

My articles have been published in 2600 (The Hacker Quarterly), mental_floss, and INK19. Check out Examining The Resumes of Motivational Speakers and 3 Colorful California Politicians.

Social / Community

I am a Vegan, an advocate of Mass Transit & Bicycling, and a supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I donate my extra CPU power to SETI@home.
