So before we get going with lots and lots of pretty pictures...
I do not work for free. Times are tough I know but if you want something for free, try a student, they might be glad of the experience. I can be a bit blunt at first, but if you get to know me, you'll find I can be a bit blunt all the time.
Chat with me on SKYPE [freelancebloke] by all means and if we don't get on then no harm done. Email me* @gmail.com (*freelancebloke).
Don't get in touch if you're trying to sell me something or rip me off, just go poke yourself in the eye with your salesperson of the morning trophy and move on to the next client. (please)
and here is the ‘about me’ bit...
I'm a designer, illustrator and animation maker based in Pontefract (Yorkshire, England). I produce product visuals, vector logos (either original or redrawn from your existing non-vector version), brand elements (like a series of icons or design features etc), bespoke lettering (for logotypes etc), illustration and design work for print (brochures, leaflets, adverts) and screen (websites, email marketing, banners), photoshop retouching and animation. I do not produce websites, I just don't have the time and stamina and patience for all the changes, but I can provide interactive Flash based work for internet or exhibition use depending on the level of programming work required.
