Introductions

I'm a freelance illustrator and a Kendall College of Art and Design graduate currently living in Michigan. My work ranges from rendered paintings in watercolor, to still-lifes in pastel, to film storyboards, to more comic-style illustrations in digital or traditional colors. Needless to say, my work is diverse. My intention for use of this blog is to display my artwork in a professional manner and to bring in commission-based business. Essentially, this is my online portfolio. Many illustrators are using blogs these days, and needing a presence for myself, this will hopefully work for me as well. So I encourage you to watch regularly for postings of artwork and perhaps be compelled to call on my services for a commission. Keep in mind that I work in a variety of mediums and subjects, so do not hesitate to ask for something that you might not see here. Just contact me at andrew.shirey@yahoo.com, my work e-mail and my Paypal account.

Read my illustration commissions post as a starting point to get an idea of the potential price range.

Burgies Awards poster


A commissioned piece for Burger Beast and his event 'The Burgies Awards', which is being held in Coral Gables, to celebrate south Florida's "everyman food" as well as commemorate the blog's one year anniversary. So if you live in the area be sure to swing by and enjoy the venue of hot dogs, pizza, chicken wings, and of course burgers, just to name a few items on the menu. I'd go if I weren't living at the opposite side of the States.

Lord of the Rings fonts can be found here.

Fast Food Mafia pin-up


This really just started out as a simple drawing to amuse myself. But after getting a lot of positive feedback I decided to make more of these fast food mafia characters and create a pin-up with them. Going from left to right, top to bottom, the fast food chain restaurants and their respective persons/mascots parodied here include:
  • Jack in the Box -- Robert "Jack in the" Box
  • McDonald's -- Ronald McDonald, Grimace, and Birdie
  • Burger King -- "The King"
  • Wendy's -- Wendy
  • Kentucky Fried Chicken -- founder Harland Sanders
  • Papa John's Pizza -- founder John Schnatter
  • Little Caesars -- Little Caesar
  • Taco Bell -- chihuahua dog
  • Panda Express -- panda
  • Sonic Drive-in -- founder Troy Smith and Katie the carhop
  • Quiznos -- talking baby Bob
  • Subway -- spokesman Jared Fogle
  • Dairy Queen -- talking red lips
You can purchase an 11x17" gloss print for $7, plus an additional $5 for mailing costs. Just contact me at andrew.shirey@yahoo.com if you're interested. I accept payment through PayPal. And of course the prints won't include the watermarks.
