Bug Art Studios

What Bug Art Studios does

Bug Art Studios is a full-service graphic design and printing service headquartered in Adelanto, California, serving the High Desert region including Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, and surrounding communities. The company was founded in 1985 and operates today with a small core team of three named artists — Johnny "Bug" Woodard (Artist), Katy Woodard (Graphic Artist), and Jack Norsworthy (Master Artist) — who execute custom design and print production end-to-end. The firmographic data indicates a total headcount of 6, which is inconsistent with the three-artist team described elsewhere; this discrepancy is noted but unresolved.
