About

Hola—I’m Farley Katz, a Senior Creative Director and copywriter living in Austin, TX. In the last few years I’ve freelanced for Droga5, GSD&M, Chiat / Day, the Martin Agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy, and Wieden + Kennedy. Before that I spent six years at BBDO.

Outside of advertising, I’m an experienced Animation Director—most recently having produced hundreds of short looping animations for a startup app called Surprise.

And since 2007, I’ve been a staff cartoonist at the New Yorker magazine where I’ve published hundreds of those black and white gag panels that sometimes make sense.

I’ve written everything from mid-age joke books to punch-up for NPR scripts.
