Highlights

All of my creations are hand drawn or painted with passion. This gives my work life and a unique feel in today's computer generated world.

While guru does not offer a skills test for illustrators keep in mind that a picture is worth a thousand words, and a good illustrator can bring an author's words to life. Google my name "Valerie Bouthyette" to find the latest on my work!

A friend of mine (Tom and Jerry Artsit) once said that the difference between hand drawing and a computer generated character is that digital artwork lacks a soul.
Additionally - I provide layout services for publication.
This means that your illustrations and text will flow as one creative process to complete a beautiful book.

Skills

Years of Experience:	25 year(s)
Highest degree:	Bachelor's Degree
Software Skills:	I use a variety of softward programs including Creative Suite by Adobe Pdf - layout services for your books.
Additional Skills:	I begin all of my work the old fashioned way - by hand (this way your illustration has life). I then digitalize or convert to graphic files that are usable in print or on the web. My illustrations make people smile! There is no better job in the world! Unfortunately there are no skills tests for illustrators...but a picture is worth a thousand words. Please google my name: Valerie Bouthyette on the web to see the latest on what I've been up to. I also provide layout services for books which includes text along with illustrations formatted for book publishing. Having an artist who can also layout your book is a plus as your images and design of your book will be carried throughout as one creative process.
