A very quick note before we get going
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.
So, to 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 usually partner up to produce complex websites and I can provide interactive Flash based work for internet or exhibition use depending on the level of programming work required.
Stuff I've been up to...
I'm now putting my 'chat' onto a VOX blog in case you really want to read about what I'm up to in a so-called 'live sense', rather than what I do for a living in general. I have an ambition to sell at least one thing from Zazzle but I think its a pretty hopeless way to earn an extra shilling in the long run. I would probably earn more selling kitten photos door to door.
