    Clients: Coca Cola, Fidelity, Google, Intel, McDonald’s, Ralph Lauren, and Time Warner. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, Forbes, and Wall Street Journal. I've had the good fortune to create humor and illustrations for books published by Pearson, Penguin-Random House, Macmillan, Prentice Hall, Harvard Business Review Press, including several bestsellers. A small percentage of my work comes from Upwork, (the majority are repeat clients, and referrals from my agent.) For this reason, I am selective, and bid on projects for which I feel I can do excellent work. Part of UpWork's “Expert-Vetted” group, which is invitation-only to the top 1% of professionals. The best cartoons are more than just artwork. They depend upon funny concepts and writing. If you already have ideas for cartoons that you would like illustrated, I can give you publishing quality artwork to bring them to life. If you also need concepts and/or humor writing, I can help, (or assist by adding some verbal WD-40 to your existing ideas.) I am a published humor writer, and many of my clients hire me to create humor and concepts for advertising, publishing and presentations. I also have an experienced 2D animator and storyboard artist on my team. ———- ♾️ “Mark did an absolutely fantastic job illustrating my book.

    As a designer, I aim to make sure every project I work on has a personality, stands out, and pushes boundaries. Anything that allows me to unitize my love of hand lettering and typography is always an exciting opportunity. Because of my double degree, I’m also always looking for ways to integrate my illustration abilities into graphic design settings, giving another layer of depth to my work. Publication design is where I shine the brightest, finding joy in every aspect of the process from editing and preparing photos for print to editing and designing the flow of a magazine’s body copy.

    Hello, my name is Damaris Huffaker and I specialize in 2D animation, illustration, and character design. I am proficient in animation software like Adobe Animate, TVPaint, and Callipeg. For my illustration and character design work, I primarily use the app Procreate. In 2023 I received a BFA in Animation from the California College of the Arts and have since created 4 fully animated short films and hundreds of smaller animations. My art style is mostly cute and cartoony, but I am very adaptable and can draw in whatever style you want. Illustrations and character designs are a very important part of animation, so I’ve made sure to hone those skills as well. With all my client work, I allow for many revisions, so that you are guaranteed a quality product. Feel free to check out more of my work on my website damarisdraws.com.
