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.

-SD- Maus the Mouse King

Some additional Salad Days fan art, made a number of months ago. Here's Maus the Mouse King, modeled after her namesake from 'The Nutcracker Prince', albeit namesake in title. From the very, very little German that I am familiar with, "maus" is our English "mouse". An appropriate choice.

MC '10 caricature - Gina

Gina Verdoni, a friend and former Kendall College classmate of mine, was kind enough to scan and send me this digital image of the caricature portrait that I drew of her during the Motor City Comic Convention. Gina's was one of my favorites drawn that weekend, so the gesture was very much appreciated.
