  JourneyManDesigns artistic services include Posters, Logos, Business Cards, Flyers, Advertisements, Tattoos, T-Shirts, Brochures, CD's, Book Covers and Illustration. Computer graphic design work is created with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and InDesign. The primary mediums I illustrate with are pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, and pen & ink. Each medium is unique in that they demand a separate approach and application of my artistic talent, making versatility my primary asset. I illustrate in different styles as well, including: traditional, expressive, abstract, cartoonist and am adept with color and black and white. Journeymandesigns combines and blends both these mediums together to design pieces of unlimited creativity and visual imagination. With this technique, JourneyManDesigns offers greater flexibility, variability, and choices that assures maximum artistic achievement in every design for every client.
