ILLUSTRATION
The images you see here were created for various reasons. A majority were made for personal studies or for my own enjoyment, but there are a handful that were made as a commission for clients or as gifts for friends. While some of the pieces were created traditionally, you will discover that most of my works are done digitally. What can I say? It’s my preferred medium.
I plan to upload more works in the future as I complete them – but for the time being, I hope you enjoy viewing these finished works as much as I enjoyed creating them.
PLEASE NOTE: The works you see below are presented in no particular order and do not demonstrate a chronological timeline of my artistic development.
DIGITAL PAINTINGS
All the works you see below were created from my own imagination. I am most proud of the works that feature a complete composition. Full scenes are difficult for me to illustrate and are therefore the most rewarding to finish as well. Pushing myself deliberately to try my hand at subjects that I find challenging has helped me improve my skills substantially.
I had the honor of showcasing some of my work in galleries like the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center and the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery at FSW. Some others have even been used by musicians Crickets Make Math and bands like Mercury for album covers and show posters.
PORTRAITS
The portraits in this next section feature both real and imaginary subjects. Coincidentally, most of the full color portraits (with the exception of the older woman) are of fictional characters while all the black and white portraits (with the exception of the girl with the flowers in her mouth) are based on references of real people.
The black and white portraits were mostly done to teach myself how to perceive values and depict the human face better. In turn, the full color portraits were done just for fun. My personal style is most evident in the colorful pieces.
VECTORS
Occasionally I will be asked to make vector illustrations as well, the most notable project of which was Heartstrings Publishing’s CARE Curriculum. The curriculum is used to teach kindergarteners and first graders, so I decided to take a playful approach with these pieces. The images you see below were used in both the books and worksheets.
