Illustration

First, Why Illustration?

In a world of instant digital photography, one may ask, why pay an illustrator when I can just take a picture?

Some concepts are abstract and require an illustration
(or lots and lots of words, but why burden your audience?) 

Illustrations reproduce better in print
(a black and white interior book illustration reads a lot better than a grayscale photo)

In a world of instant digital photography, why look like everybody else?
A good illustration provides a unique, fresh and professional look to your project.
