About

I’m a neurodiverse freelance illustrator and 2D creative with over ten years of experience running my studios, JW Sketches and JowyB Studios. I’ve worked with brands such as LEGO, Disney, and BOSCH, creating a wide range of assets including characters, logos, backgrounds, concept art, and storyboards.

I’ve produced striking illustrations for authors, musicians, and directors, and I’m skilled at interpreting briefs, developing ideas, and delivering work efficiently. I work primarily with traditional drawing methods alongside Photoshop, with some experience in Blender.

I’m passionate about creating inspiring characters and worlds, and I’d love to bring my creativity and expertise to this project to help your idea stand out.

I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to share further examples of my work. My CV is attached.

Thanks,
Josh
