Murals and illustration

Reviews:

If you think you've already found an incredible artist, think again. You clearly haven't met Glen. From day one, Glen approached this project with an open mind and used his creativity, experience and attention to detail to bring my vision to life. He didn't just complete the job. He elevated it beyond anything I had imagined. The transformation of our gym has been incredible. What once felt like a warehouse with gym equipment now feels like a professional training facility. The quality of Glen's work has completely changed the atmosphere of the space. I intentionally waited around three months before writing this review because I wanted to see how everything held up over time. Before a single drop of paint went on, Glen spent countless hours cleaning, preparing and removing years of grime to ensure the finish would last. Three months later, the paint is still in immaculate condition, which speaks volumes about the pride he takes in his work. I genuinely can't thank Glen enough for the time, care and passion he poured into this project. He's far more than an artist. He's someone who genuinely cares about creating something exceptional for his clients. If you're looking for someone who takes enormous pride in their work and delivers results that exceed expectations, I couldn't recommend Glen more highly.

Pick me for:

I love working with the client on something unique and special. Love experimenting with different styles

Reviews:

Dan was absolutely fantastic! I asked him to create 3 portraits of a friend of mine who passed away from photo's, and with only the photographic reference to work with he caotured my friends nuances and essence brilliantly. Absolutely amazing for someone who never met him. Everyone who has seen these paintings has commented on how good they are - even my friends parents who received one. And at every step he sent me previews of how it was going and worked with me closely to achieve the final, amazing result. I could not recommend Dan more highly.

Illustrator for Hire Melbourne 


Melbourne illustrators, much like illustrators from other parts of Australia, specialise in a specific niche of artwork.

Digital artists can design artwork specific to businesses websites embodying the theme or aesthetic of a company.


Now, there are plenty of cheap illustrators for hire that will get the job done. But, much like all art (big or small projects), good work is worth the price. As mentioned, some illustrators for hire only work in their excelling field. Artists with a deep understanding of the human body may only accept jobs for medical booklets or websites.
