My illustrations explore the beauty of travel, architecture, nature, food, and animals — blending storytelling with artistic precision and a sense of atmosphere.

What I create: • Illustrated maps — detailed city and travel maps for magazines, travel brands, and editorial projects. • Architectural & landscape illustrations — venues, houses, and sceneries for publications and private commissions. • Botanical, food & animal illustrations — plants, flowers, dishes, and wildlife for brands, books, and packaging. • Wedding illustrations — bespoke venue portraits, and custom designs for couples and planners. • Postcards & art prints — designs for tourism, gifts, and creative collections. • Editorial & book artwork — illustrations for magazines and publishing. • Custom commissions — personalized artwork and creative collaborations. What to expect: • Clear and collaborative process — from sketches to final artwork. • Regular updates and open communication at every stage. • Tailored illustrations that reflect your story or brand identity. • High-resolution files ready for print and digital use. • Reliable delivery and full attention to detail in every project.

Not AI. Not generic. I create original, professional cartoon characters with full copyright transfer—artwork that’s truly yours and safe to use anywhere. I’m Shawn Encarnacion, a Top-Rated Plus freelancer on Upwork and a professional cartoonist since 2005. I’ve completed hundreds of custom projects for clients ranging from startups to major names like the Las Vegas Raiders, Ford Motor Company, and Stanford University. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: ✏️ Collaborative sketches — I work with you step by step to develop the character’s look and personality. 🎨 100% hand-crafted art — no AI, no templates, no copycat style ✅ Full copyright transfer — so you own the characters and artwork, legally and completely. 📐 Flexible final files — delivered in high-res raster or vector format (perfect for logos, merchandise, and scalable branding). Clients hire me when they need quality that lasts—not just a quick image, but a character they can build a story, campaign, or entire brand around. 💬 What clients say: “Shawn was fantastic to work with on our project! … Highly recommend!” — Rebecca Finlay, Las Vegas Raiders "It was a blast working with Shawn. He is an amazing artist who is flexible, friendly, and highly imaginative. He had a lot of enthusiasm for my project and it was reflected in his work. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him." - Bob Kamm, animation writer “Awesome from start to finish. Shawn did a great job transferring my vision into a polished book cover.” — Sam Subity, Author “Very talented and an all-around great guy … I’ll definitely work with Shawn again soon.” — Manuel Rodriguez, WOCO LOKO If you want a character that looks original, feels alive, and is yours alone, let’s get started.

Hi! I'm a highly skilled professional specializing in the art of widely understood doodlery. Nulla Dies Sine Linea, as the Dutch say. Overview I specialize mostly in illustrating the fantastical, the magical, the unreal. I'm interested mostly in character illustration from imposing mythical creatures to imaginary cute wee beasties. I can deal with fully rendered scenes and concept art alike. I can help you in visualizing existing ideas o come out with brand new ones based on very little guidance. When it comes to style I balance between impressionism and realism in both traditional and digital illustrations. As a classically trained artist with a Master's degree in literature and history I can deliver more serious, realistic paintings for novels and non-fiction books as well as wonky colorful doodles for younger audiences. I'm looking forward to working with you! Cheers, Alex
