I am a freelance illustrator, cartoonist, voice actor, and writer who's been doing this professionally for 2 years. I'm looking to expand my revenue and open up to new projects and assignments. I was also inspired to join Upwork through myself, friends and people who gave me the idea to start working, not for a fast food restaurant or gas station, but with doing what I love i.e. drawing and creating. I really hope to meet all the needs of whom ever I have the pleasure of working with, and only aim to impress and provide excellent service, no matter what client I get. P.S. I'm actually male. There was a gender mix up in my first review
