Illustration
Illustration is visual story-telling. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” and all that. Most all of my figurative 2D fine art work appears to be illustrative. Without much applied imagination, stories can be easily derived from almost every one of them. And, the longer someone lives with one of my pieces, a deeper and richer storyline is revealed.
I have done intentional illustrations for pre-existing stories. Here, there are a few samples of illustration for various projects. During my career as a graphic designer/illustrator, I did 100s of audiobook cover illustrations, several CD covers, and a good number of full books, including children’s books. Check out a few of the audiobook covers that I illustrated here.
I can do original illustrations reminiscent of virtually any style, as well as in my own unmistakable style. Even though I have loved doing commissioned illustration work (there is some kind of excitement fired up by the challenge of meeting, or exceeding a clients vision that really gets my creative juices going), I have turned to fulfilling my mission here this life. Therefore, I’m letting this part go from my daily efforts. I just wanted to honor a big part of my life before.
