I think it's about time I start using my profile on this platform to share what I actually do.
I'm a freelance illustrator obsessed with drawing people and stories and getting better at doing just that.
I experiment a lot and work on a huge array of different projects for clients - from most design works to illustrations of portraits and books.
I'm busy re-doing my online portfolio to structure all of this and portray all of this more cohesively. This, for example, is a visual journey of a children's book I illustrated and designed for a wonderful client.
In total I've created 15 children's books for different clients and as part of amazing initiatives.
I absolutely LOVE doing these books, especially if given creative freedom. Another firm favorite is commissioned portraits like these:
And then lastly, I love exploring and creating for myself - especially in this lockdown period!
Now the reason I'm bringing this up is to take more pride in what I do (!) but also to ask for a bit of help..
This coming June will mark the 3rd month I haven't been able to get a salary from my beloved company where I teach digital drawing, as we rely on teaching in school holidays..
And since those don't exist anymore we have had almost no students and thus, no income.
So! All I'm asking from my little corner of this Twitter Universe is: If you have the means and would like some commissioned art, or know of someone who does, please give me a shout!
I would really appreciate it!
