Summary

Day Works offers the services of a professional and highly skilled draftsman. I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil, and I now have thirty years experience as a fine artist, and five years experience as a professional illustrator. My clients have always received work on time, and the work has always met, and has often exceeded their expectations. My illustrations have appeared in poetry anthologies, audiobooks, and in other publications.

My greatest strengths as an artist are a very strong sense of design and of visual drama, and my skill in depicting the human form and figure: faces, hands, expressions. My greatest strength as a professional is an old-fashioned work ethic. I guarantee complete customer satisfaction, or you owe me nothing.
