This is the blog of Kris Northern aka phidelity. I am a free-lance graphic designer / musician based in Portland, Oregon with many interests leaning towards the nerdy end of the spectrum. Some of these include Isometric Art, Origami Tesselations, graffiti, fractals, Sacred Geometry, photography, object oriented design and art as well all manners of electronic music and sound design,
This site is a continually evolving work in progress but can act as a portfolio for my previous work. Please have a look around and sign up for my mailing list if you want to get updates when I put new work out – I only send out an email every couple months. =)
I also write a zine called the Jaded Review which is primarily parodies and satires the hippie culture.
I am also one half of the group Squiddhartha which makes fun funky tongue in cheek electronic dance music.
Of course you can find me at all the usual places:
Found a copy of your flyer for GIAN MIND SUMMER FESTIVAL June 22, 08… really a nice job.
Someone must have left a few here in San Fran.
Have you done other flyers?

Enter your comments here…hey, just happened upon your art and would like to talk to you about an exhibit in our gallery. We are a technical based university but also have an off site fine arts program. I think many students would find your spirograph series & oragami very interesting. We are located in Michigan and would have to talk about the feasability of shipping the work. drop me a line if you’re interested.
thx, Carrie
I came here looking for your amazing artwork. You run the Jaded Review too? You are my hero! My friend Treavor showed me the Hippie Guide and I was on the floor, dying. From one hater to another, I salute you! Oh, and your artwork is killer too.
Sam,
My name is Tyler Maxwell and I am apart of a new magazine called Bomb Flow Magazine. We are a surf culture magazine covering kayaking, surfing, Art, and Environmental issues. I noticed you did some art with a surf/kayak theme. We are looking to showcase some artists with relevant art on our website with a link to their website. As we get closer to our print date we can discuss what we can do for you in the mag, and we can pay for all content going into thje print mag.
We have been running another ski/snowboard magazine called Bomb Snow Magazine for the past 6 years with great success. In every issue of Bomb Snow we have a different artist do a cover and we do an 6 page artist profile and if it works out we have a gallery in our office and would like to throw an art show of the artists work. Some of the past Artists we have featured for Bomb Snow are (Mike Parillo, Stephan Hofmann, Blain Fontana, Ryan Schmies, and Adam Haines). We would like to find some artists in the kayak/surf scene to showcase their work. For now we are trying to get content for the website and would love to get in contact with you about your art. You can check out bombflow.com and bombsnow.com to see what we’re all about.
Thanks
Tyler M
Long time listener, first time caller…. HEY KRIS!
Its me, Natasha aka LaidEbug aka dankgril. You down with OPP?!! hahaha Alex said he ran into you (ok yes last summer) and gave me your info. I was surprised you moved to Portland, interesting! considering your Jaded review! hahaha I lived there for a sec, its hippy central! As for me, I’ve spent the last decada in Europa – London, Madrid, and now Valencia (4 goin on 5) I’m finally on the med! Before writing this i thougroughly checked out this whole website – after not seeing your art for a GRIP – and all i have to say is YOU ARE SOME SICKNESS! A creative virus that infects the mind with visual bliss! holy shit the windows! The art is amazing, your version on the japanese waves I esp like, and the hilarity of the hippie commentary – I am the only hippie raver in existence who worships punk and MINISTRY i mean, we were meant to be friends for all time. SOrry it took me so long to get in touch. I was stoked to see the comment on 4.20 from Tyler M, you know snowboarding is still my great passion and it would be rockin to see you get involved with the scene. Do you ride? WOW so long holy shit! OK so I do have FB (/eurotash) and skype, we should catch up! I have to spend some time listening to all the music on this site and then let you know what I think… there’s just so much! hahaha So hit me up! mil besos y abrazos de Valencia
T*A*S*H
