illustrations designs

Using watercolors, colored pencils, and the computer, I specialize in the editorial and children's markets.

I create logos, brochures, business cards, publications, and just about anything in print.

A lot of people ask me “Hey Jamie, why a chameleon for a logo?” Well actually it was this one guy, and it was more like “What’s with the lizard?” But there ARE reasons.

It’s a well-known fact that lizards, I mean chameleons, adapt to their surroundings. The business world is one harsh environment. Companies want someone that can adapt to meet their needs. Many times they can’t hire a separate production manager, copy editor, freelance coordinator, marketing strategist, and designer. They need one person to handle all those jobs AND keep an eye on the budget. As we get closer to deadlines it doesn’t hurt to have a sense of humor either. Changing to the environment, independently moving eyes (well metaphorically speaking), a sense of humor—BINGO!

To get the job done right you can’t replace years of experience (over twenty-five for me) with software. You can’t replace a solid foundation from the School of Visual Arts (BFA class of ’80—Go Fighting Temperas) with a few quick courses.

If you need help with:

• Brand recognition

• Capturing a larger market share

• Corporate identity

• Growing competition

• A new look

Or other marketing situations and you want someone that can adapt, can think and coordinate, someone creative and budget conscience, someone, well like me, then call 631-979-1954 or e-mail me Jamie Stroud at jpstroud@optonline.net.
