Introduction

I am a caricature artist, graphic designer and an illustrator and have been working with freelance clients since 2000. My job, as I see it, is to help you get your idea out of your head and onto the page or computer screen. I am most passionate about illustration, but I can also design logos, print materials, and websites. The majority of my clients include private individuals from all over the world. However, some notable clients you may know are: The Getty Center, Killing Kardashian, Nude Barre apparel, Zumba, Tucker Travel Cover, Jason Stapleton, Uber, Adam Kokesh, and Vivid Entertainment. With art and graphic design, the clients and subjects are always different, and variety is the spice of life. I get a rush when I submit a completed piece that the client loves.

I had run across Steve's doodlemydog.com a few months ago, and loved the colorful playfulness of his pet portraits. Our beloved mutt Mooch was really showing his age, and we knew he wouldn't be with us forever. Doodle My Dog seemed to perfectly capture the happy personality we love about him, so I bookmarked the site for later. When the inevitable day came and we had to say goodbye to Mooch, it was time to contact Steve. With a photo and a few other visual references, he turned the exact mental image I had in my head into a lasting tribute to our pooch. About a week after I contacted him, Steve sent a black and white proof for approval, and when I gave the thumbs up, the finished color art arrived a few hours later. We got the portrait in JPEG format, and a scalable Adobe Illustrator file for hi-res color prints. We couldn't be happier. Steve's talents comforted us a lot in a very sad time. We're huge fans of his top-quality work, and give him our highest recommendation.

I hired Steve to create a cartoon character in my head that I had been trying have other artists bring to life but they could not come close. Steve not only took my ideas and ran with them, but he also brought his own ideas/flavor which made the end result even more unique than I had envisioned in my mind. I am already planning on hiring Steve for few more projects!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly rate is $45/hr. I try to estimate how long I think a project will take me, and come up with a flat rate for most projects. If you're ordering a caricature/illustration, I have a price calculator on my personal website, so check it out!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the initial conversation, I usually ask for an outline of the client's needs/wants and try to come up with a budget. I'll then send a detailed quote for larger projects. Smaller projects ($100 or less), I'll usually just quote the asking price.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA from Rutgers University. I've been a graphic designer since 2000 and a professional illustrator since 2013.
