Tom Lay, Illustrator

Introduction: We do illustrations, including graphics and characters, of places to be built. This includes theme parks, events, motion pictures, restaurants, hotels, and other architecture. We do eye level interiors and exteriors, as well as aerial perspectives for master plans. The work can be done in Photoshop, Painter, or by hand. Approved images can then be placed in page layouts with type for brochures using InDesign, or they can be used as backgrounds for animated scenes. Our techniques range from loose conceptual freehand sketches to realistic images. The work can be done in your office, distant locations, or my studio. The best thing about my work is the moods created by in the mind's eye by suggesting detail rather than over-explaining. A few words are enough to start, but work can be done from construction drawings, models, and site visits, too.
