About Abraxas.

Howard Griggs has been designing since 1993, when a borrowed PC and some gifted software started something that never really stopped.

In thirty-plus years he has run advertising departments, served as Creative Director at the largest tech company in New Orleans, handled accounts for General Motors, and spent  eighteen years teaching for Apple — introducing both employees and customers to tools that changed how they worked.

Through all of it, Abraxas Studio never went away. It couldn't. The design work — the music posters, the book covers, the vinyl packaging, the identity systems — that's not a  side project. It's the thing.

He runs New Essex House, a publishing imprint dedicated to making dangerous books available again. He makes posters for bands he believes in. He builds brands for people who want something with an actual point of view.

Available for freelance and remote work. No corporate polish. No generic solutions. Just thirty years of knowing what good looks like and how to make it.
