I became a freelance illustrator just after graduating from my Bachelor’s (BA (Hons) Graphic Arts) in 2013, but I was plagued by unpayers. I’m back practising the profession now I’ve come to Amsterdam.
I’m available for illustrations, graphic design including typesetting, calligraphy, and small-scale photography (so illustrative photography but not event photography). Send an email to bob-at-madbob-dot-nl for a quote!
