Hiya! I am an illustrator from Los Angeles. I create apparel graphics for a living and freelance for just about anyone in just about any creative field. I am heavily influenced by surreal b-movies, comics, warm smiles, vodka, everyday nuances, childhood memories, (just about) anything described as being "raw," the metaphysical, thee Lord and my zany/fresh children. You can find examples of my work here: Illustration Portfolio, Apparel-Illustration Portfolio, Flickr, Behance.

This Vector Plus Tutorial is Filled with Creative Instruction

While this tutorial gives advanced instruction on color control and correction, it also covers numerous other techniques, and a complete workflow from sketch to finished graphic. Quite honestly, this tutorial could have been named several different things. So, there's a lot here to learn here!
