Work Experience

Working with both local and national ad agencies and often with the clients directly, I have continually created successful illustration and design projects, which have met or surpassed the director’s specifications.

Accomplishments

Especially proficient at producing highly professional and eye-catching design, developing original and licensed characters and conceptual/technical/photo realistic illustration.

Developed an “elderly woman comic duo” for a series of trade magazine advertisments for Keptel, a telephone network interface company (their ubiquitous grey box is most likely attached to the side of your home or office) which were considered “most recalled or recognized ad” in a reader poll.

Created a series of cartoon illustrations for MCA Music Publishing Co. based on Universal’s classic movie monsters, Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Their images were modified enough to avoid copyright infringement.

Designed original “alien” targets for Six Flags Great Adventure shooting gallery.

Worked with a team of other illustrators on the “Joe Camel” R.J.Reynolds Tobacco Co. account and successfully mimicked approved character design for their ad campaign.

Conceived a cartoon mascot for Stag Beer, a division of Anheuser-Busch, Mauritius.

Provided artwork for the US Army as a vendor for several civilian advertising agencies, which included conceptual aircraft and battle scenarios for powerpoint presentations, montage images for a scanner mural and supporting promotional material.

Created icons and vector art for How To Fix Every-thing, a “how-to-do” book for Simon & Schuster, Inc.
