Cartoon sample folio
Greetings Allow me to introduce myself in the hope of some symbiotic benefits. My name is Alistair Craig and I am currently both a freelance producer of graphic design and a permanent part time editorial artist at the Otago Daily Times. Due in part to my detailed research on the Craig family’s personal poverty, I am now offering to all and sundry my sideline skills in the art of cartooning. For you this may mean access to: (1) A prestigious editorial cartoon (2) A humble pocket cartoon (3) or the ‘picture is worth a thousand words’ illustrative cartoon Examples of all such wonders adorn this brief portfolio. This is not to limit your requests, I also am quite handy at a wide range of graphic design skills - from info-graphics, photo-montages, photo-manipulations, advertising etc, to the high brow and glorious production of books and magazines. For further examples click the link: seriousmedicine.co.nz I look forward to hearing from you or someone delegated by you to negotiate the enlargement of my bank balance. Take it easy
