  If You Need Quick and Eye Catching Illustrations.....​​​​​​​​​

​

Call The Illustrator who is used to creative thinking, flexibility and the pressure of deadlines, due to a long association with daily newspapers as an editorial cartoonist. I have also worked with publishers such as Owlkids and Kids Can Press and for such clients as Nissan Canada, General Mills, McCarthy Tetrault, Walmart and Met Life to mention a few. This work involves developing conceptual ideas, book illustration, storyboards, renderings, visuals for Powerpoint and other presentations, customized caricatures and more.
