I am always looking for unique ways to market my services. As an illustrator you can’t wait until your work flow slows down to start promoting yourself you need to do it when you don’t think you need to do it.

I’ve been wanting to create what I call ‘Concept Cards’ for a while now. In essence they are like a business card in that they are the same size but as you’ll see they serve a broader purpose then merely relaying contact information.


This tutorial will take you through my creative process from thumbnail sketches to the final printed concept cards.

When you literally have to illustrate hundreds of individual designs you look for the most efficient way possible so as to maximize your productivity and keep the project profitable. Such is the case with this assignment.


I’ll take you through an accelerated creative process that by passes a few of the normal steps I usually take when creating my art in order to meet the projects deadline. All without compromising the quality of the finished work.

This post isn’t really a tutorial. Rather it’s a free resource for your own creative pursuits. This download includes nineteen high resolution texture files for use in your creative projects.

Use these textures to add a nice organic flair to your illustration and design work.


Each texture includes a layered PSD file and a bitmap tiff image. If you enjoy these then you need to check out ‘Crumble, Crackle, Burn’ my texture book which contains over ’60′ textures in the exact same format.

FYI: Large Download Size!
