Meet the Artist:
In 2009 I'll be working as a freelance illustrator for 20 years. Wow...That long...? I work together with my wife, who does the basic coloring in my commercial work, amongst many many other things.What can I do for you? I make fast and furious illustrations taylored exactly to whatever purpose you would want it for. For your company, or for private purposes. In case you need more than just an illustrator, I know the right people.
If you have decided on what you want, I'll be able to visualize it for you, swiftly and uncomplicated. Because I feel it's important that an illustration fits the message its supposed to illustrate or better yet, enhance it, I'll adapt style and mood to give it maximum effect, whenever necessary. The internet is my way of keeping in close contact. I don't drive around to meetings because I want to work environmentally sane and safe
How to start? Please write me an email (my address in the menu bar to the left) with your detailed wishes, specifications of size and format and with necessary documentation attached, and I'll make you a free estimate of the costs. If you deem it essential that we meet in person, we'll set up a meeting. Otherwise we can communicate by phone, email or msn. Whatever suits you best.
What does it cost? Well, that depends. My hourly fee is 110,- €. A standard storyboard frame (A4-full color- 150dpi) costs about 120,- €.
A standard visual (A4-full color-300 dpi) about 250,- €. Included are briefings and such.
Bigger jobs tend to be more cost efficient because they usually require less consultation and deliberation per frame or picture. Any price largely depends on what should be in the illustration, though.
A mass scene filled with people, cars and technical equipment will, of course, take much more time than a single portrait on a simple background color.
What about discretion?. No pictures or information ever sent to me will ever be used for anything other than the commission or job it's intended for as documentation, or shown to anyone else but myself, unless it's requested explicitly in writing by the party involved. That's not a hollow phrase to me.
If you would like to visit me, to discuss a commission in person, here's where you'll find me on the map:
