Content Development:

The creative ability to concept & develop artwork ranging from traditional to digital in fine art, illustration, branding, design, animation, and interactive has been foundational for directing, managing, strategizing, & casting vision for a variety of direct business agendas.

My background & core passion comes from a fine art & illustration discipline. Overall, this is what undergirds my perspectives and approaches, as much of this discipline is crafted around synthesizing concepts & messages and communicating them through representational and non-representational story-telling, using analogical images & graphics.

In short, the ability to create artwork allows me to uniquely understand, compose, & communicate in any challenge that comes before me.

Illustration:

Intellectual Property, Character, & Illustration Content Development

Technical abilities span drawing (pencil, colored pencils, pastels, markers, ink, etc.), painting (acrylic, oil, gouache, airbrush, etc.), mixed media (various other mediums), digital illustration (vector-based to fully rendered, ie. Adobe illustrator & Photoshop), and other illustrative art types (including physical and digital 3D, collage/mosaic, etching, etc.).

Styles & genre typically span children’s to adult, mild-to-extreme characterizations (cartoon, comic, storybook, etc.), fairy-tale, fantasy, and sci-fi. Abstract-based styles can also be done but are mostly only expressed graphically when developing logos & brand support imagery. Artwork subject matter covers figurative to object & environmental representations.

Uses of illustrations range concept art, brand support, storyboards, spot illustration, editorial illustration, media illustration, product illustration, and so forth.

Design:

B2B & B2C Brand Marketing, Design, & Product Development

As design is instrumental in brand development and communications, my applications of design have comprehensively covered brand identity, product development, business & sales material, advertising, and more, through print, traditional media, & new media.

Technical abilities span concept to production art including illustrative & abstract graphic development (logos, supportive graphics and icons, charts, etc.), single to multi-page layout & development (ads, posters, books, etc.), specialty printed design (POS display, packaging, etc.), media graphics & media development (tv/film, web, etc.), and more.

While industries have been diverse to include many professional b2b & b2c products and services, much effort and focus has covered media, entertainment, & mass consumer-based products, services, & retail.
