Outside
of greeting cards I've also done occasional illustration work for other
media such as newspapers, websites and children's books. I don't try to
pigeonhole myself into one particular style, although I do have some
favorites. I do enjoy exploring what sort of look might be suitable for
communicating the idea and often discuss with the client what they'd
like to see. I'm also willing to try new directions. I use a variety of
mediums, including (but not limited to:) brush and ink, technical pen,
ink and watercolor, colored pencil, gouache and electronic media such
as Photoshop and vector-based programs.
(This section is currently under construction. For a better representation of my illustration portfolio, please see the greeting card page.)
