illustration – Smokie Does Stuff

At long last, my freelance site is officially open!

Posted on 06/19/201706/19/2017 by Smokie

…that’s not to say it’s “done.” Your business is never “done” growing or improving. I already have an entire Trello board dedicated to not only maintenance tasks but also things I want to try, add, or tweak. It’s a never ending work in progress.

But long story short, I’m ready to offer my services in freelance web design, web hosting, graphic design, and illustration! I specialize in farms and ranches, but I can provide a great website at affordable prices in a wide variety of industries.

Whether you need a new website, a redesign of your current website, logo design, or even single-use illustrations, I have a broad set of affordable services I can offer you.

You can see some of my web design work at the new website and my illustrations there or on my Facebook page. If you want to talk about your needs, get in touch with me at hello@smokielee.com or over at my website.

So if you’re in need of a web designer or an illustrator, feel free to pop over there and see my work. I look forward to hearing from you!

Link Would Totally Carry a Tom Bihn Bag

Posted on 04/02/201704/09/2017 by Smokie

So for my birthday recently I got a Tom Bihn bag, a Pilot. I’m going to write a longer post about it and other Tom Bihn purchases later, but the last time I ordered from them I requested a sketch of something and promised that I would draw them something back. They drew me a sweet fucking T-rex with a wizard hat, which was hard to beat, I admit. The husband has been playing a lot of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and watching just how much shit is in your inventory, it occurred to me that Link could only carry one brand of bag. Then the rest of the sketch was easy.

I made a thing for a good friend of mine, Katzmew, for his birthday. Happy birthday buddy!

Stranger Things Season 2 Ghostbusters Illustration

Posted on 03/26/201704/04/2017 by Smokie

When I saw the Stranger Things season 2 trailer with the boys wearing Ghostbusters costumes, I knew I had to make it into an illustration. It was a bit harder than I imagined, and honestly there are still things I want to tweak on it, but I think it’s good enough for now. I’m really pleased with the colors and the shadow (the new perspective tool in Illustrator CC is…different).

This is also posted over on my freelance design site.

Cat head in a jar illustration I did. I dunno why. I just like drawing weird shit.

Challenge

Recently a friend asked me to make him a profile picture for his Twitch account. He wanted half to be his face, and half to be a Dead Space mask. Since I’ve been in a flat design phase for a few months, it was a perfect fit. This post is pretty image-heavy, obviously.
