About
I specialize in sequential art, story-telling and multiple image projects, such as comic books, children's books, mock or promo-comic books, comic strips, storyboards, slide-shows, power point presentations, calendars, coloring books, and any type of similar projects. To date I have illustrated and formatted 15 children's books, most of which are available on Amazon (just type my name into the search bar), and you may also see samples of my children's book illustrations at Childrens Illustrators. I also do T-shirt design illustration, production and high-end separations, novelty, mascot and character design and creation, pre-press and self-publishing, including not just illustration, but also formatting books, comic books, trade paperbacks and graphic novels for upload to publishers or the on-demand self-publishing venue, such as Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) of your choice. I enjoy the independence of working from home and taking on a variety of projects, as opposed to a steady job repeating the same functions daily, and I enjoy working with a variety of people and clients and taking on new challenges on a daily, weekly or yearly basis.

Hired on Thumbtack

Details: Design for an existing company • I have some design ideas in mind • Brochure / Flyer • No printing needed • Remotely (phone or internet)

Tom Arvis Cartoons & Illustrations's reply
Michelle contacted me unsolicited to request my availability, to which I responded and then did not hear from her again until she notified me two days later that she'd hired someone else. I responded well within the 4 hours Thumbtack allows, but I guess I didn't get back to her quick enough to suit her. Hence the one star review. I guess you can't please everyone.

Working with Tom has been a fantastic experience! From the outset, after finding him on craigslist, he was responsive to all of my requests, questions, and suggestions for a children's book I was working on. Tom helped me narrow down the particulars of the images I needed, providing his expert opinion on how to handle my project. He was up front with his rates and availability, which were very reasonable. I was impressed with his his technical skill as an illustrator as well as his interpretations in bringing my written word to life. He captured the essence of what I imagined and added flourishes I never would've thought of. His additions enhanced the final product beyond my expectations. The whole process went smoothly from start to finish. Tom is a true professional. 10/10 would work with again.

Thanks, Todd. Todd's book, story and character was incredibly imaginative, and easily sparked my creativity. He was also a pleasure to work with, and I'm hoping to do so again on future books of "Johnny Lobster".

Tom does amazing work, with great attention to detail, at a very reasonable price. I worked with him to create over 40 pages of an independent comic. He produced really fantastic pages, and went the extra mile to make sure it looked great. He was blazingly fast, too! His work is an amazing value. I would (and will) hire him again, and I'd recommend him for any illustration work without hesitation. Hire him now!!

It was a very productive year for me as Britt came along right after I finished Guy Marini's books and website, and he hired me to produce one 21 page comic book, then a second and then a 10 page origin story of his characters in "Starforce Dragonfly". His book and characters were real pleasure to draw. Britt also had very few revisions and also paid promptly. I hope to hear from Britt again this year and look forward to producing more comic books with him.

I was a first time children’s book author and searched for an illustrator. Tom’s portfolio was impressive so we agreed to move forward . The readers of my books always comment on the quality of the illustrations and share that they add value to the book reading experience. In addition, Tom provided me with excellent counsel regarding marketing and promoting my books.Finally, he met the deadlines we established and was on budget for all my books. I highly recommend Tom Arvis. Guy M

Guy Marini has also been a model client to work for. Guy hired me to illustrate one of his wildly imaginative children's books, and the one book turned into 5 books and a website (SuperNonnoBooks.com). I also formatted Guy's 7 books for upload to Kindel Direct Publishing and the website. Guy seldom had any revisions and was very easy to please, and he also paid very promptly (like within a week). I anxiously await to hear from Guy again when he has more books written to be illustrated.

I had a great experience working with Tom Arvis. He was so hopefully during the entire process and professional. Any issues, changes, or ideas I had he listen and did everything in a timely manner. I can't thank him enough for the great work he did & all his help!
Tom Arvis Cartoons & Illustrations's reply
I produced a 12 page full color personalized comic book for Alison, and manged to squeeze a 24-page script into 11 pages. Alison was understanding, flexible, gracious, and an all around pleasure to work with- and she introduced me to a new way to accept payment through Venmo.com. thereby expanding the number of payment methods I can now offer my clients. Her revisions were very few and minor.
