My father had wanted an Architect. Growing up I found myself pursuing a dream not of my own. I took 2 years of Architecture when my Professor offered me a job as a Technical Illustrator/ Retoucher and concept artist. I do owe my design skills to my Architectural instructor...
I enjoy Painting... In all types of Media... A lot of my earlier design projects I incorporated some type of illustration...
For 15 years I worked with Corrugate. I was offered a job on theatrical Ads, from there I went to POP, Home Entertainment, then to theatrical displays. Did you know you could expect at least 1/4" of stretch on a large board corrugate...
When I got my first job in the graphic industry the company I worked for went belly up in 5 years some how the clients gravitated to me. I worked Directly with the Printer and the client.
Working with Industry standard materials and trying to maintain a budget, while meeting the clients specifications
This section highlights my pen and ink, line art, and sketching capabilities.
Since I was in the 3rd grade I made my own comic books to entertain my class mates. So naturally I'm gravitated to jobs/ projects that involves storybooks...
Sometimes the Client would be very specific as to what they want, but then there are those that just want to see something....
Creating fictitious characters means you have to dress them in fantasy clothes. I did my first silkscreen job (for myself) when I was 14.
I've worked on a lot of vehicle concepts, function, wrapping, and I could even change my own brakes, alternator, or paint it... lol
The digital world requires you to know how to create web related projects....
I Could Retouch using Photoshop or the Old way... My first retouching job started out with my boss asking me if I knew how to retouch (I didn't even know what it was). I responded with a confident YES. They asked me to go get what I need. What I needed was a book on retouching, I spent 3 days reading on it , on the 7th day I was ready... Now I could retouch with the best of them. I have retouched images that would make it all the way to 1 sheets, billboards and theatrical displays.
