Mark has this uncanny ability to take the vision we had imagined in our minds and make it a reality, yet still managed to add his own personal brilliance to bring our vision/s to life." "We decided to stay with Mark for the entire product line and have sold out our first 3 major projects (this never happens). We directly attribute this success to his timeliness, his ingenuity, and his willingness to dig deeper beyond the surface to find the "why" for each direction." ****Areas of Expertise**** * Illustration ( I create all of my illustrations in 100% scalable vector format) * Color Theory * Typography * Character design * Adobe Creative Suite ( Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign expert) * Strong communication skills *Knowledge of screen printing process (Pantone, Spot Colors, Separations...) * Speed ( As an expert Adobe user I am able to work extremely efficiently and quickly) * Attention to detail ( After 15 years of design, simple mistakes do not slip past me like design rookies) ****Design Styles**** *Typographic *Graffiti *Retro/Vintage *Colorful *Black and White *Corporate *Abstract *Flat *Geometric *Cartoon *Illustrated *Logo/Badge *Hipster *Modern *Line Drawing I know that finding the right candidate to design your t-shirts and merch (especially for screen printing) can be tedious here on UpWork.

    You have a brilliant concept in mind but don't quite 'see' it clearly yet and need a creative wizard who can instantly comprehend your desire and rapidly transform it into a drawing. Or perhaps you already have a clear vision and only need a good listener and skilled artist to create it for you. I got you covered. I create excellent original imagery and deliver the results fast, efficiently, whilst maintaining top notch communication and acceptable levels of fun. Indestructible work ethics and a calm discipline, combined with a passion for excellence and originality, puts me second to none and ensures that you get the very best service and experience. Blessed with a vivid imagination, buckets of creativity and a fierce will, I took ownership of those wild gifts and dedicated time and effort to develop and hone the necessary skill and techniques to be able to give expression to visions and ideas in a variety of media. To bring your visions to life, my time, skill and experience is available full time, very responsively. I guarantee a comfortable, professional, creative experience and 100% satisfaction with the fruit of our collaboration. My work history backs that up. I am looking forward to the adventure. Kind regards, Pieter Please read on, for a further break down of my skills and experience... Digital painting software is now finally sophisticated enough to stand abreast with traditional media like oil and acrylic paint, ink and wash, graphite and other dry media. A pressure-sensitive pen and tablet, combined with powerful software, makes it possible to very accurately simulate real-world brush behaviour and mark-making. I am proficient in these applications and keep the skill at the bleeding edge: 1. Digital Painting/Illustration: Krita 4.4.8 2. Raster art, photo and image manipulation (Photoshop, GIMP, Krita) 3. Vector art: Inkscape 4. 3D modelling, texturing and rendering: Blender 5. RAW photography, post-processing: Darktable 6. Typesetting and final artwork layout for print: Scribus

    I'm MFA artist working professionally for over 15 years, but drawing for my entire life. I have been working as a motion graphics designer and art director although I'm especially passionate about concept art and illustrations. In recent years I've been creating mostly illustrations for computer and mobile games as well as board and card games. Fantasy theme is particulary close to me, but I can easily adapt to many different themes and styles (cartoon, decorative, realistic, whimsical.....) I take my work seriously, so I give my best to every project and I don't exceed deadlines. But my greatest asset is creativity and imagination, so I'm sure I can create for you distinctive and suggestive graphics.

    Hello! There is a wide range of experience I bring with me – from publishing books and ebooks as a designer and illustrator, to diverse work in advertising and promotion, concept art, layout, hand-lettering, image editing, web design, poster design, infographic design, and packaging design. I also have a more specialized skill set as a history-themed illustrator, interpreting and recreating scenes, sites, and peoples lost to the past. This focus suits anything historically themed - from magazine articles about sites and events, to historic book covers, to reconstructions for museums and textbooks, to entertainment design. In addition to my portfolios on this site, please enjoy my work at historydepicted.com, or search for history depicted on any major social media site. I would love to hear from you!
