    My area of expertise lies in creating memorable caricatures, using both client-provided concepts and photographs. Furthermore, I offer logo design, cartooning and editorial photo illustration services. My caricatures are frequently commissioned as distinctive gifts for special occasions such as retirements, farewells, birthdays, graduations, and wedding anniversaries, providing a personalised touch that is often difficult to achieve with other presents.My logo design services cater to micro, small, and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, I am adept at producing cartoons for a variety of purposes, including education. Lastly, I possess a fondness for producing photo illustrations, primarily for editorial purposes and lately, I've been creating realistic AI art instead of using photos, then continuing the same manipulation in Photoshop as before.

    After exploring different career paths, including puppeteering and DJing, I experienced a pivotal moment that led me to pursue graphic design – a career I had been trained for. This decision led me to work at a small business where I was able to develop a strong creative portfolio. I am grateful for the opportunity provided by my former employers, and I reflect fondly on the memories of working with somewhat limited equipment, such as a PowerMac 6100 and a Zip drive used as a scratch disk for Photoshop.
