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.

Marceline -Adventure Time- PSC


Prepping myself for Detroit FanFare, which is coming up in late October. Been meaning to take a crack at more Adventure Time art, and this seems as good a reason as any to do so. Given the season that the convention falls in, Marceline the Vampire Queen felt appropriate. She was a little tricker, though, since I didn't have just the right colors for her skin nor mouth, so those were done in watercolor rather than marker. But the final effect was certainly worth the effort.

Purchase this original art for $25 USD, which comes in a plastic protector and includes no additional mailing costs. Contact me if interested.

Storyboards: New Year's Resolution

This marks a first in my freelance work with storyboarding: illustrating a music video. New Year's Resolution by Brian Iannone depicts a man working towards meeting his personal goal, which is to lose weight, train, and compete in a bicycle race. Due to budget, not all of the panels from the original script were illustrated, which is why there are some gaps in the number sequences.

It's been some time since Bureau of Vital Statistics, so I was glad to have an opportunity to do some storyboard work again.
