I once made that offhand remark to a warehouse co-worker during a hot, soul-crushing shift that prompted a discussion of the vast riches awaiting us at the local Speedway. For fear of being wrong, I never purchased so much as a scratch-off during subsequent stops for gas and wrinkly meat sticks.

Instead, I did the other thing.

Getting hit by lightning didn't transform me into a superhero as any other avid comic book reader would rightly expect. While I did walk away with some cool Deadpool-ish burns, turns out that thwarting evil-doers typically requires more than smelling vaguely of burnt ham.

The experience ultimately provided an incentive to pursue a more fulfilling career path, though. You know, something about life being too short.

And I've been happily doing graphic design, web dev, and illustration ever since.

The work on this site represents just a small sample of what I've done over the years. If you'd like to find out more, please shoot me an email or use the contact form below.

I hope we get a chance to work together someday. If we do happen to meet in person, though, keep in mind that I do radiate a powerful field of static electricity. As such, I ask that you please refrain from testing this by tossing various laundry items at me.


Best,


John Wohlt
