While we may all be descended from Adam and Eve, I like to think my name gives me special claim. If you'll pardon the pun, this Cain is able to do unusually good illustration for you.
I say "unusually" good because having experience in graphic design and production, I know the importance of developing strong visuals and am ready, willing, and able to help.
Whether the purpose of the art is to complement an article or sell a product or service, a diverse clientele counts on me for a variety of problem solving techniques and approaches.
Look through my website and you'll see my style has a light-hearted and unintimidating quality yet works hard for you.
In today's world, you really need an illustrator with my attitude and aptitude, because it's no Garden of Eden out there.
