He is currently a news page designer with The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tenn. He has been the lead designer at daily newspapers in Texas, Louisiana and California, and the art director of alternative newsweeklies in Texas, Virginia and Tennessee. As a writer and reporter, Ramsey’s byline sits atop hundreds of stories, articles, features, essays and columns covering news, politics, entertainment and business published in newspapers and magazines around the world. As an artist, Ramsey’s humorous illustrations and caricatures have been featured in numerous publications. For eight years, Ramsey served as a military journalist with the U.S. Air Force, traveling extensively throughout the world while reporting and designing for numerous military publications.
