Biography
In 1990, Jeff Kleinsmith moved to Seattle and started freeloading around the offices of local music rag The Rocket. He was drawn to artists and designers like Lisa Orth, Art Chantry, and Mike King, and was influenced especially by the design of The Rocket. All in all, he ended up working for the mag for four years. Jeff took over as art director for a year until Sub Pop hired him away as their first and, as of yet, only in-house art director. In 1992, Kleinsmith started BSK Screen Printing in his basement with two friends which went on to become Patent Pending Printing. In 2000, Patent Pending Design was formed. A design company, comprised of Kleinsmith (designer), and Jesse LeDoux (designer), Patent Pending was formed as a creative outlet for producing and marketing silkscreen posters and freelance design work. His work has appeared in design books and magazines too numerous to list and in various gallery shows, most notably a recent showing in Seattle of 100 posters and 12 paintings. He is currently working on a monograph which is tentatively scheduled to be released in 2010.
