Charles Youel

I’m the founder and Creative Director of ARTCRANK®, a pop-up art show of handmade, bike-inspired posters that began in Minneapolis in 2007. Since then, ARTCRANK has staged more than 50 shows featuring 1,500+ artists in the U.S., U.K., and France. In a previous professional life, I worked as a copywriter, creative director and strategy wonk for several Twin Cities agencies, most of which have ceased to exist. This is purely coincidental. I still do occasional consulting work in advertising, design and brand strategy, but I can quit anytime.
