John Knight, Illustrator & Cartoonist

I have had work published in many national newspapers, magazines and in-house publications.
I use Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Photopaint and Coreldraw. I also use pen and ink, water-colour and scraperboard.
I am fast, reliable and work to an agreed budget or to an hourly rate.

The picture on the right was drawn very roughly by hand, scanned and then "traced" manually in Photoshop. The colour was then airbrushed, again in Photoshop. Fireworks was used to optimise the file size to enable the image to be used on the web.

The image above was drawn directly into Flash, using a Wacom pad, it was exported as an EPS file and the graduated background was added in Photoshop, Fireworks did the optimising.

The images on this site have been optimised, but I have retained quality at the expense of download time. The reason for this is that most visitors will wish to see reasonable quality due to the fact that this is basically a portfolio. For the same reason, it is designed to be best viewed on a large monitor with high resolution, figuring that most visitors will be design professionals and have decent monitors.
