Graphic designer and artist Bart Kaminski has passed away.

Bartley Francis (Bart) Kaminski
June 8, 1977 – July 22, 2021

From the obituary:

Bartley Francis Kaminski, 44, passed away peacefully on Thursday following a courageous battle with cancer.

Bart graduated from Palmyra Area High School in 1995, attended Mansfield University and later earned a degree in graphic design from HACC.  He was the founder and owner of KollisionMedia and Hop Hedz Gear.

From a 2018 profile:

He has been designing beer shirts, brewery logos, beer can labels, local business websites, and much more for over a decade now with his two ventures, Kollision Media and Hop Hedz Gear.

Kaminski said he was immediately drawn to the beer industry.

The obituary further states that Bart “was a political cartoonist garnering recognition and awards from the Patriot News.” We could find no samples of this part of his career.
