I have real skills drawn from years of schooling including private art school I worked my way through for six years and learned everything from drawing, color theory, spatial relations, illustration to framing; Fashion Institute of Technology, design, fashion design; UofA, commercial art, fashion design; I earned a degree in computer graphic design beginning with tearing down and rebuilding a computer. I draw and paint every day, it is my life. I am an artist and am qualified to do any kind of illustration and make it actually work. I have real time skills having worked in the publishing industry for over 25 years. My most recent contract lasted over seven years at Cisco Systems and Sunset Custom Publications working as a technical illustrator. Book illustration is a very strong skill and I have illustrated for educational publishers as well as authors and general publishers. I am a quick study if it something new to my expertise and can work quickly and professionally. Please view my resume and samples online at http:///www.portfolios.com/ellensklar-abbott.
