Illustration & Design I often do Illustration & Design work for commerical use. My fee is about $70 to $85 and hour, depending on the project and contract, usage and reproduction of my image. This page features just a few samples of the work that I have done and sold. Every project is quite specific to its needs, and so it is very important for me to collaborate very well with my clients.

The Design Process As a Designer there are a million variations of a simple concept.  It is very important to narrow down the number of possibilities quickly so that the final design can be completed before the set deadline.  Therefore, I prefer to discuss a project initially with a visual clue, something that the client has found to match their vision, a magazine clipping, or even a photo, ANYTHING to get me started.  I can then take that idea and turn into something closer to what they want.  In order to do this, I like to provide a few early sketches and get approved before I go any further.  Constant critique and dialogue is most efficient.  For an idea on how the process works, please click on the images below for step by step explanation.  This is a recent project I completed for Suffield Academy, Development Office…   First Sketch Computer Drawing Photoshop Effect Watercolor Pastel Watercolor, Pastel, & Ink Completed Illustration Completed Illustration In the end, this is the Final Design Illustration that was approved and selected for print.  The image was used to showcase the proposed concept of a new student locker room.  It was to appear as an architectural hand drawn illustration for a brochure featuring the future layout of a new field house.  This project took about 40 hrs.
