    Hello, I'm Jing, an illustrator based in California. I love nature, plants, animals, and city life too. I specialize in creating captivating and unique illustrations that bring stories and ideas to life. My work has been recognized by a few international Awards, e.g. Communication Arts, 3x3 Annual, Hiii Illustration, iJungle Illustration Award, etc. My works are done digitally and with mixed media, and leans towards flatness, conveying ideas, reflections or emotions, through the exploration of forms, various textures combined with colors. I’m interested in the applications of illustration in various fields, such as * Editorial, * Book covers / Cover art * Product design * Advertising * Children’s publishing so that to help the products reach more audiences and meanwhile bringing aesthetic pleasures to daily life.

    Graphic design is a very complicated area to work in. All people have different tastes and sometimes it is quite complicated to create a good looking design that satisfies my client. So, before starting working on a new project I prefer to find out as many details as possible about my clients' expectation concerning the design I'm going to create. I also understand that sometimes it is necessary to create more than one version of some design. Updates are necessary part of our work and I do not mind to improve my images if my client think that they are need to be improved. After all, he or she is the one I am creating images for :). So I can guarantee you that all the images that you receive from me will be high quality and meet all your requirements.

    My name is Noah Abadano, but I go by Fluek on most my socials and I am a 2D artist and animator, but I mostly specialize in action animation and dynamic character performances. Although I'm able to animate or illustrate mostly anything. I am flexible and very good with deadlines. I've been doing art and animation for 10+ years. I've worked on art and animation for audio books, indie game projects, personal commissions, and looking to expand my experience here on upwork. Lets make something cool!
