It's true that many illustrators have a single, signature style in which they prefer to work, but when you work with ADO designs, you'll have access to a variety of illustration styles in a variety of medias. You'll have the opportunity to mix and match styles and medias by request. For example, typical cartooning is created with line art and digital color application, but you can specify that you'd like to see your cartoon rendered in acrylic on canvas for it's stronger stylizing properties. Along with my own artwork, I can utilize the services of two other talented illustrators, so you won't be without options.

You won't have to explain prepress principles to me. I've worked in the printing/graphic design industry for ten years. I've designed, prepped, and illustrated posters, catalogs, brochures, children's books, and more. Color separations, bleeds, folds, signatures, and especially deadlines are all familiar to me.

I'm particularly interested in editorial or children's book illustrations, but I am willing to discuss any project.

I am also interested in jobs for print design or combination design and illustration. You can check the skills section for a summary of the technology that I regularly use.

If you need a versatile illustrator or designer with a background in prepress who can meet deadlines and provide quality work, then contact me at ADO Designs. I'm looking forward to building my portfolio with new and exciting projects.
