Style

For six glorious years, Ariel has lived in Gothenburg, Sweden, where he maintains a delicate balance between imagination and delusion. Ariel is a compulsive tempter of fate and a keeper of strange company, including his own. He has impersonated impersonators, been suspected of international espionage, and repeatedly written the first page of an epic novel. He is also shameless in his adoption of untenable, conceited points of view, such as the third person.

Ariel was educated in Studio Art at the University of Texas at Austin, making the Dean's List and Honor Roll. Today, his style attracts clients for its dynamic compositions, its conceptual flare, and its irreverent attitude.

Non-magazine work

...is broken loosely into elements. A figure or object, such as a dog or vehicle, equals one element. Backgrounds and environments, such as a city scape or a crowd, are also equal to one element. Several minor objects -- for instance an ashtray and whiskey bottle of a man drinking -- may be grouped together as one element. Additional color shading or stylization of the entire image also constitutes one element.

Concept Sketches Only: €50 / $80 per element

Finished Illustrations: €160 / $255 per element

ALL FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE.  Large assignments are greeted with discounts.  Cozy, flexible pricing accompanies familiar and agreeable working relationships.
