Hi, thanks for stopping by! I’m Jenny, a Canadian freelance artist with a passion for digital paintings and illustrations. I have been in love with creating for as long as I could walk, with over 15 years of experience drawing 100% by hand in Photoshop or Procreate. I've been lucky enough to work on many different forms of visual media including realistic or cartoon portraits, custom prints (wall art, mugs, clothing), book covers, web illustrations, logos, NFT collections, personalized cards, and much more. My natural eye for detail and close attention to my clients' preferences have proven great results for every project I've tackled. I would be honoured to bring your vision to life - let's get in touch!

Important note: A grave misunderstanding sent me from 100% job success to 64% overnight. A client changed his mind on a project, still paid me for my work and we left on good terms. After writing me a good review, he selected that the project was not completed without knowing that it would affect my score (the work was not completed because he changed his mind and decided to postpone his project). The client tried to change this but it did not work. We both contacted Upwork and they flat out refused to restore my score. My hard earned 100% score was butchered over night and I quit using Upwork. My score eventually dropped down to 50% (I suppose for not using it for over a year?) However, I am available to create your artwork quickly and efficiently, so do not hesitate to reach out if you like what you see. My name is Pascal, I am a visual artist and musician based in New-Brunswick, Canada. I specialize in acrylic and oil painting, drawing and illustration. I do both traditional and digital work. I primarily work with Procreate and Photoshop. I can do portraits, landscapes, cartoon and children book illustrations, logos, album covers, book covers, restaurant menus, business cards, t-shirt/clothing designs and virtually anything in between that relates to arts and graphic design. I am also a multi-instrumental composer under my music project Eye Ocean (eyeocean.bandcamp.com) . Although I am fairly new to Upwork, I have been working as an artist and designer for many years. I spent many years working as an artist in Moncton, New-Brunswick and later many more years in Montreal, QC. I have exhibited and sold some of my works internationally and my work has been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, books and television. My portfolio features a range of different styles that I have done throughout the many phases of my life. I am available for graphic design contracts, illustration contracts, painting commissions as well as music composition and recording! I am easy and fun to work with, I am quick to respond to messages and I work very fast! If you like some of what you see, invite me to your project and let's talk! Please don't be shy, I would love to work with you!
