Hire the Best Cartoonists in Georgia

Hi, my name is Patrick Carlson from Valdosta, Georgia. I have over 30 years of experience creating cartoon characters, cartoon designs, and children illustrations. Please see my portfolio for samples of my work. If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

I create illustrations and cartoons. I've done billboards, logos, tee-shirts, cartoon panels and cartoon strips, picture book illustrations, product packaging, character design, game boards and game cards. I've done greeting and holiday cards, signs, banners and ads, photo retouch and screen print separations. And one very large wall mounted caveman for a karaoke bar. I work traditionally and digitally. I primarily use the Adobe Suite with the usual focus of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I like to paint with Corel's Painter and I also use CorelDraw. I am particularly interested in light humorous illustration and most prefer a painterly approach to silly characters. I like to provide sketches and comps throughout the creative process and am amenable to revisions and changes. I look forward to talking to you.

Hello! I'm Brittany, a first-generation African American digital comic/manga artist, illustrator, and character designer. I work both in black and white and color. Whether you have a multi-part series or a simple idea you would like to see visualized in a comic, novel, or singular image, I am here to help. I'm super dedicated to helping people bring their ideas to life, whether it's for themselves or to be shared. Being a writer myself, I have been on both sides of production and I can not only help with materializing your ideas but can also offer advice for how the writing can itself prop up the illustrations. I have much experience in starting projects from the ground up but can also easily jump into an already established project. My style ranges widely from a painterly style to classic comic cell shading and manga duo-tone. Skills: Illustration, Comic/Manga/Graphic Novel Illustration, Comic Strips, Children's Book Illustration, Cover Design/Illustration, Panel Layout, Page Design, Character Design, Environmental Design, Comic Lettering, Script Writing, Storyboarding, Working within deadlines Programs: Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint

Whatever you do, there is a story behind it. And I am here to make that story sing. Incidentally, my story this week is that I ended a lot of "active" contracts that have actually been inactive for years and that will have no comments or ratings associated with them. They are not recent contracts, so please to see my ratings...scroll further down. An Illustration is a picture to go along with your children's story, your product, or your brand. Tip 1: If you are new to Upwork, please invite anyone who meets your criteria to whatever great project you have in mind, and we can talk budget, time, and process. Tip 2: In your job postings, be as specific as possible and post the type of work you are looking for. Manuscripts, brief sheets, and style samples are encouraged. Time and effort is money. REASONS TO CONTACT ME: (You don't need one; feel free to contact me for any reason.) I specialize in comic and stylized illustration. Reading your story, I will determine if my style is a good fit, and then I will either talk about the next steps or recommend another artist. I will narrow and accent the story of your brand, work of fiction, or children's book. So, contact me if you have an idea for: (1) A CHILDREN'S BOOK I will be with you through his process from concept to ready-to-publish. I'll read your manuscript, discuss recurring characters, visual milestones throughout the book, and create a book dummy/storyboard. I'll make this as fun as possible; after all, children's books are supposed to be magical, aren't they? (2) A T-SHIRT DESIGN, What is the story you are trying to convey with the shirt design? I will discuss with you the purpose of your t-shirt project. Is it for team building? Is it the beginning of a new line of products? Or is it a shirt design commemorating "Talk Like a Pirate Day?" We'll refine and bring that into focus! (3) COMIC ILLUSTRATION Maybe you have a comic illustration that leads to some new understanding of your brand or product. I can bring this vision to life and have it dance a rhumba. (4) ALBUM COVERS I will listen to your album, search other album covers on the market, and listen to your thoughts with care. From this, I will create an illustration meant to entice the potential buyer/streamer to experience your musical masterpiece. (5) GREETING CARDS I have loved the ironic commercialism of Greeting Cards since I was old enough to read them on my Birthday. I even created "Small-Marked Cards" as a kid, primitive cartoon drawings on large pieces of posterboard to mark the occasion of birthdays of family members and friends. I can bring that same irreverence, humor, and ardent sentimentality to your project. (6) STICKERS, MAGNETS, MUGS, MERCHANDISING (7) FOOD ILLUSTRATION A picture is worth a thousand words; let me provide those pictures. ****************************************************** WHAT SETS ME APART?

After getting insight from the client, I generate sketches of deliverables like: ✅ Rough compositions. ✅ Thumbnail Dummies ✅ Recurring Character Sketches 3.
