The Lonely Shell


I'm pleased to announce the publication of "The Lonely Shell", a children's book by Malia Domingo and illustrated by myself. You can purchase it off Lulu.com, and hopefully with success, it will be available nationwide!

Check it out, it's a beautifully written book, and the illustrations ain't bad either. ;-)

Poster Ad Design and Wedding Invite

This is a poster I did for Greg Proffit's Creepy Crawl Pub Tours in Savannah, Georgia. It's a great ghost tour and I'm happy to be a part of it. If you're ever in Savannah (at least for the next four months) call this number and ask for me. I'll be sure to scare you and get you buzzed all at once.

The second illustration is a wedding invite for my sister's wedding. I haven't heard her thoughts on it yet...so this might not be the final artwork.

"Flagler's Few" wrap cover designs


These are wrap cover illustrations for my second-run print of Flagler's Few and the Reaper of Saint George Street Volume 1 and Volume 2. Originally designed as two separate books, I reworked the first cover and combined the two books together as a compendium. However, I've met with some unhappy feedback of the book being combined by my sellers in St. Augustine who prefer to sell the books separate.

If I can't find a traditional publisher (and I'm really hoping I do find one!) I may have to resort to selling the books as two instead of one. It's more cost effective and it seems to keep the sellers and buyers happy too! :-P

Welcome to the NEW ARFstudios website!

Hello friends, fans and visitors! Welcome to the re-designed ARFstudios web-blog. From now on, the site formerly dedicated to all things Flagler's Few, will now incorporate all of my projects including book illustrations, graphic designs, ad designs, upcoming graphic novels and other side projects.

I will also be using the website as a sort of online portfolio for prospective clients, interested in hiring me as an illustrator. Below are some samples from the first few children book projects I was so fortunate to be a part of. (Authors of the books hold all rights to the illustrations, ARFstudios reserves the rights to use them in a portfolio setting).

Enjoy!

Yours Truly,
Andre
