Hey, I'm a guy who makes cartoons! I can also handle a lot of the production work (boarding, VFX, etc). I start from the ground-up, bringing your ideas to life using industry-standard Animation software like Toonboom and the Adobe Creative Suite, allowing my work to fit into your team's pipeline. I have over 10 years of experience, have worked amongst industry professionals from Jim Henson Co and Disney, created 2D-animated overlays for music videos, and trailers from everything from comics to games. I also make animation-ready avatars for use in applications such as streaming and Vtubing. (Using software like Adobe Character Animator, Rive, and Live2D). I'm current producing an animated pilot, so my experience extends to show running and talent acquisition in the animation sector. I have a BA in Visual Arts from UMBC. (And yes, I can animate stickmen).

I've been doing illustration and graphic design for over 15 years now and I love finding creative solutions to meet my clients' needs. I view every project I work on as a personal accomplishment, so I will give it my 110% in order that it will be a masterpiece worth bearing my "signature". My three most common fields of work right now are: 1) Technical illustration - for USPTO patent applications, user manuals, scientific illustrations, and product catalogs 2) Book Illustration - fun, whimsical illustrations for children's books, comics, and educational content 3) Game and Package Design - card games, board games, and all their associated packaging Send me a message and we can discuss how I can help breathe life into your project!

My name is Drew Clark. No, my parents did not know I was going to enter an artistic field when I grew up. That being said, I find it slightly humorous that my first name reflects what I like to do, which is draw. Drawing is what steered me into design and animation, and it is what I find the most relaxing yet invigorating experience in the world. As Glen Keane once said, "The pencil seems to have nerve endings." What drives me in this field is learning new ways to express an idea. That is why I am enthusiastic about learning new software and methods of presentation. Each project should be approached as a different composition with emphasis put on one thing: reaching an audience. However, that audience does not want to be captivated by gimmicks or cheap tricks. They want to be sincerely addressed about something. That is what my life drawing class taught me. In everything, there is a vibe being portrayed. Animate or inanimate, you want your piece giving off the right "mood." No matter the medium (fine art, print, digital, film), I am always listening for the feeling and message the client wants to present. That emotional tug is what I aim for in every piece, and I will be happy to accomplish that in my future endeavors.
