OLD SCHOOL GOES DIGITAL
I'm a hard-working, Illustrator/Graphic Designer with 28 years in-house experience doing art for one type of print or another. My specialty is illustration and graphic design, especially digital illustration for high-end screen print on t-shirts, as well as for most other print applications. Extensive knowledge of traditional and conventional art and pre-press techniques. Keen eye for detail and color. Natural talent plus lots of on-the-job training. Seeking freelance or contract work.
Resume
I've created art for all types of print applications and was involved not only on the creative end, but also on the pre-press, production end. I've been an artist my whole life and have had a pencil in hand since I can remember. I have a very strong work ethic that has enabled me to successfully freelance and telecommute. Throughout my in-house career, I always took on freelance wherever I found it.
Tight deadlines, which are typical in the print world, have enabled me to learn what to do to meet them, yet still produce a high-end product. I know how long certain styles or techniques will take and my estimates of time are pretty accurate. I'm a professional with tons of experience, talent and drive.
I am very meticulous in my work. I strive to make each artwork the best that I can produce.
