The Places - consultation
James helped me think through the storyboard for my children’s book. He created a thorough, in-depth analysis of my story and then hopped on a Zoom call to walk me through everything. He was also available for follow-up discussions and questions. James is a master storyteller, and I highly recommend his consultations.

Finalize the places Nov 2024
James was absolutely brilliant. He stepped in to help with the final design, text placement, and onomatopoeia in my children’s book. He brought highly creative ideas and was incredibly skilled at both fixing and creating visual elements. I highly recommend him for visual storytelling, graphic design, children's book creation, and preparing a book for publishing. Superb!

Incidentally, my story this week is that I ended a lot of "active" contracts that have actually been inactive for years and that will have no comments or ratings associated with them. They are not recent contracts, so please to see my ratings...scroll further down.
An Illustration is a picture to go along with your children's story, your product, or your brand.
Tip 1: If you are new to Upwork, please invite anyone who meets your criteria to whatever great project you have in mind, and we can talk budget, time, and process.
Tip 2: In your job postings, be as specific as possible and post the type of work you are looking for. Manuscripts, brief sheets, and style samples are encouraged. Time and effort is money.
REASONS TO CONTACT ME:
(You don't need one; feel free to contact me for any reason.)
I specialize in comic and stylized illustration. Reading your story, I will determine if my style is a good fit, and then I will either talk about the next steps or recommend another artist. I will narrow and accent the story of your brand, work of fiction, or children's book.
So, contact me if you have an idea for:
(1) A CHILDREN'S BOOK
I will be with you through his process from concept to ready-to-publish. I'll read your manuscript, discuss recurring characters, visual milestones throughout the book, and create a book dummy/storyboard.
I'll make this as fun as possible; after all, children's books are supposed to be magical, aren't they?
(2) A T-SHIRT DESIGN,
What is the story you are trying to convey with the shirt design? I will discuss with you the purpose of your t-shirt project. Is it for team building? Is it the beginning of a new line of products? Or is it a shirt design commemorating "Talk Like a Pirate Day?" We'll refine and bring that into focus!
(3) COMIC ILLUSTRATION
Maybe you have a comic illustration that leads to some new understanding of your brand or product. I can bring this vision to life and have it dance a rhumba.
(4) ALBUM COVERS
I will listen to your album, search other album covers on the market, and listen to your thoughts with care. From this, I will create an illustration meant to entice the potential buyer/streamer to experience your musical masterpiece.
(5) GREETING CARDS
I have loved the ironic commercialism of Greeting Cards since I was old enough to read them on my Birthday. I even created "Small-Marked Cards" as a kid, primitive cartoon drawings on large pieces of posterboard to mark the occasion of birthdays of family members and friends. I can bring that same irreverence, humor, and ardent sentimentality to your project.
(6) STICKERS, MAGNETS, MUGS, MERCHANDISING
(7) FOOD ILLUSTRATION
A picture is worth a thousand words; let me provide those pictures.

MY PROCESS
1. My process starts with client-based information like:
✅ Project's scope?
✅ Reference materials.
✅ Self-generated research based on client feedback.
2. After getting insight from the client, I generate sketches of deliverables like:
✅ Rough compositions.
✅ Thumbnail Dummies
✅ Recurring Character Sketches
3. Following this, revisions are created, and more refined art is provided. A recursive process occurs here where, in response to you, the illustration is refined and rendered to its completed state.
MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Hiring an Illustrator is hiring an ambassador for your product or idea, not an expense. You need someone who will advocate for you and who wants your vision to succeed.
I AM A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF —
✅ You have a vision, and you are looking for an experienced partner who cares about communicating it in a clear and dynamic fashion.
