    I create illustrations to to meet my client’s needs, with attention to quality and detail, and delivering the work within their timeframe. I work traditionally* as well as digitally, and I can seamlessly blend the two mediums. Here are some things clients have said about my work: • “His artwork is incredible, he is great to communicate with and always wants to ensure customer satisfaction.” • “…open to changes and really "saw" my vision for the project.” • “…truly is competent and capable and a talented illustrator.” • “Working with Jesse was an absolute pleasure. The final product was fantastic.” We may be a great fit if you are looking for an illustrator who: • Delivers consistent work that matches the quality of their portfolio work • Produces the work on time • Will revise the work to meet what you envision • Can match an existing style to maintain consistency of a project Working with me, you will receive: • Excellent illustrations backed by classical drawing skills • Consistent work over multiple illustrations • Work featuring diverse, well-developed characters and detailed settings and backgrounds • Preliminary sketches and communication every step of the way, you will always know exactly how the project is advancing. I have over seventeen years of experience as a commercial artist. Creating art is my passion. I practice daily to constantly expand my skillset. I frequently work in pencil, ink, marker, acrylic, and colored pencil and can also combine the mediums. In addition to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, I am also very well-versed in Affinity programs: Designer, Photo, and Publisher, as well as Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and Krita.
