My name is Todd Van Linda, and I am a freelance Concept Artist and illustrator from West Palm Beach, Florida. While I have been drawing with pencil and pen and ink since I was a child, I have been working freelance full - time as an artist / illustrator since January of 2020. Being an illustrator means that I am a problem - solver. If you need to tell a story, if you need a … something … to fill a gap or illustrate a point, I create it. My previous work has been quite the mix; I’m not sure that there’s anything I haven’t illustrated at one time or another, in one style or another. I’ve worked extensively with: *Table Top Card Game Art / Design *RPG Art / Design *Cover Art / Splash Art / Interior Illustration for books and magazines in every genre *Portraiture *Nature Art *Graphic Campaigns for email blasts and inter-organizational programs *Product Labels *Tattoo Design *Medical Illustration *Cartoons and Caricatures *Mechanical / Technical Drawing *Story Boarding *Comic / Sequential Art * Microsoft PowerPoint's, Google Slides, Brochures, Flyers, Infographics, social media creatives *Photo Manipulation / Correction / Restoration / Repair / Compositing / Photo realistic concept design images ( The “after” pictures - what an interior or exterior space will look like when the new design elements are applied… from the exterior of a convenience store to the interior of an A340 Airbus VIP Jet liner). While I am a big adherent to traditional pencil and pen and ink techniques, I am also a daily Photoshop user for the digital aspects. Digital painting is a major focus.
