Hello, my name is Thomas Lee Harris, Jr. and I am a graphic artist living in Houston, Texas. I am a recent graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Graphic Design.

I characterize my work as graphic modern instrumentalist design, and I constantly strive for social design whenever a project presents itself. Many influences of my work are Cheryl Heller, Barbara Kruger, Paul Rand, and Jorge Frascara.

Recently, I completed a thesis in Fine Art in completion of my degree from Lamar University. My topic was to raise awareness of rights, benefits, and protections the LGBT community faces when the United States federal government did not recognize same-sex marriage. I created a twenty feet by six feet long infographic and poster series covering major issues such as legal, medical, and financial hardships of LGBT couples and families. An informative pamphlet also follows the series as a take away of the work. The work will be on display at Lamar University Dishman Art Museum from May 3 – May 18, 2013.
