My latest freelance illustration, a mermaid for 'Amoeba Soup', a project my mate Sammy is working on.
My name is France, but I go by the artist name 'Guava' on the interwebs. At the moment I'm a fulltime graphic designer/illustrator working for a clothing company here in New Zealand. I'm always on the look out for exciting new jobs though - so if anyone's keen to hire a sexy talented young designer, but can't find one, maybe I'll do instead.
You can see a couple of examples of my work in the slides below. In my spare time I sometimes take on Freelance graphic design/illustration jobs, so hit me up an email (guajava @ gmail dot com) or drop me a message if you're interested. I accept payment thru PayPal, or in copious amounts of Midori liquor.
And sorry guys and girls, I'm not here for romance. I've got the bestest boyfriend ever, so unless you've got the brooding good looks of Billy Zane combined with the scathing wit of Joel McHale (and the bank account of an NBA all-star), plz don't even try it. I'm only here to make friends, especially with people who enjoy art, and contacts in the art/design/fashion industry - both in New Zealand and abroad.
This scroll features some illustrations I've created both for fun and as commissions. My usual method for creating artwork is to draw the line art in pencil, then colour digitally using Photoshop CS2 and a Wacom Intuos3 6x8 tablet. Sometimes I use my own blood, smeared on paper crafted from endangered kelp - but most of the time I just use a computer.
This scroll features some of the graphics work I've done for both school projects and real clients. I've also thrown a couple of personal photos in there coz I couldn't think of where else to put them.
Please do not take any of my art and post it on any other webpage; or copy, modify or redistribute it in any way.
Thanks~
