Craig

I'm a multimedia artist who specializes in illustration, using a graphics tablet and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to render my paintings.

I've have been painting all my life, and 2008 I decided to move from traditional formats to digital.

In High School I studied art, where I practiced mainly with pencils,acrylics and water colours. In University I took figure drawing classes for 2 years as part of my multimedia studies.

Since then I have freelanced, working on various projects such as 3d animation, 2d book and poster design, as well as a few web projects.

Over the past years I have worked on a few illustration projects for family, friends and small businesses, so I paint not only as a profession but as a hobby too.
