"Starting II" 

Chris Hornsby: Artist and President of Hornsby Brand Design

By Day: Chris' artistic expertise, marked by "distinctive excellence," helps lead his clients into new frontiers. His creative solutions achieve results and break the ground of conventionalism. He's garnered more than 85 local and international design awards for his creative/strategic solutions, along with being published in several prestigious design annuals. This UGA grad has cultivated his 25 years of creative experience in numerous advertising agencies in Atlanta and Knoxville and in several in-house, international firms as well. 

By Evening: Chris is not only passionate about design, but also about painting and the artistic expression and outlet it provides. Intrigued by the idea of blending the two disciplines together, his inspiration comes from two of his modern art heros: Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. He draws from their sensibilities: "Instead of asking, why? Ask, why not?"
