Quality ILLUSTRATION should be affordable for everyone.
Illustration is my first love, and in college was my core discipline. The combination of excellent illustration and well thought out typography is the essence of graphic design.
The bulk of what I do today is computer driven and digital. But that won't stop me from creating an illustration in whatever media it needs to convey its message. I work in pen, ink, and pencil and sometimes colored pencil and oil pastel. Colored pencil has a phenomenal '70's throwback feel.
