I don't have much experience creating illustrations for design work, but I got a fun gig recently that enables me to bring this hobby to my work-day. It's sorta fun, check it:
http://don.citarella.net/index.p…Anyone else primarily a designer, but get hired as an illustrator for projects too?

sounds great. i'd love to see those illustrations.
i like the coffee-stained paper tip, too.
i've been getting back into illustration as a hobby over the past year and a half. nice way to end the day and i've gotten a commercial illustration project out of it.
you're right, it's a great change of pace during the workday.

yup. i'm a full time designer too, but most of my freelance is all illustration. It's funny how big of a disconnect my design work is from my illustration work. Occasionally, I get to do some illustration work for a design piece, and it's like going on vacation.

blaw - do you have your illustrations in your blog? congratulations, man. sounds pretty cool.

studio - I totally agree. We've worked with people who dabble in music as a hobby that build sites fulltime and they love the idea that clients come to them to do the music too. It's amazing to bring "outside talents" to your core services. I'd love to see some of your work too. We're always looking for other illustrators.

I'm an illustrator who used to dabble in design work on the side. Gave it up a while ago though.

Wow. Arthur, you do some amazing work, man.

era: i have a couple things in the blog, but most of it has been relegated to the sketchbook. i'm hoping that a combination of practice and opportunity lead to having more stuff to show off.
arthur: great work on your site.

Thanks, man. Glad you like.

Very nice. Quit your design job.

I'm going to take that as a compliment and overlook the fact that you could be criticizing my design...
Thanks?

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback and compliments.
Yep, they were drawn on cotton rag paper with sharpies and ink wash and then composited to tea-soaked "damaged" paper that I scanned.
what's "ID"?
