About Tom Hapgood

Tom Hapgood was plucked up from a small Army town in southern Arizona and plopped into the center of western Europe, just in time to witness the last gasps of the Cold War. In the spirit of a mutually beneficial cultural exchange, he made sure to bring along his red Ibanez Roadstar II guitar, and a blonde mullet that would only get longer and increasingly coveted by many. Previously, he had been raised in a battered, aluminum canoe on the Sudbury River in New England, followed by several years riding dirt bikes and tabletop arcade games in the shadow of Fort Huachuca, AZ. For five years in Karlsruhe, [West] Germany, he then scuttled around ruined castles, head-banged through all-day heavy metal festivals and curated a personal collection of political party posters from many downtown surfaces. He teaches and carries out research in all the things that get lumped into the words graphic and design at the University of Arkansas.
