My name is Brenton Chapman, I'm a graphic designer from Los Angeles that operates under the name Black Unicorn.

I have 11 years of experience as a freelance designer and branding specialist. During my career I have worked for some of the largest corporations in the military and firearms industry including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and many more. I spent a four year tenure as the art director for American Tactical Imports during the first years of the company and was responsible for building all the brand image and advertising during my time with the company. I have done work for the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and several related agencies.

For ethical and personal reasons I decided to leave the military industry and cease professional relations with my clients in that area. Since then I have been working exclusively as Black Unicorn on personal designs and website development using the Expression Engine CMS. My work under the title Black Unicorn is focused on modern, boutique style design and brand identity for a wide variety of clients in various industries. The name, Black Unicorn, springs from my fascination with building mystique and an awe inspiring presence through graphic design - bringing a sense of wonder and magic to your company, product, or services.

My work has ranged through a very broad spectrum of clientele, from creating custom squad emblems for the Federal Bureau of Investigation special task forces, to lavish packaging and advertising campaigns for top companies in the beauty product industry. My work has been published in dozens of magazines, reaching viewers world wide.
