Illustrations have come a long way since some early caveman first picked up a piece of charcoal from his hibachi and made a mark on a cave wall to show his buddies what he was planning to cook up for lunch.

Illustrations existed long before the written word and continue to effectively transcend the spoken word. The simpler the concept, the greater the chance that someone will 'get the picture'. Not only do illustrations present pictorial concepts – successful illustrations fix people's attention. Browse these images and see if they tweak your imagination and draw you to the power of illustration and graphic design.

Do you realize that 3D illustrations can successfully compete with and have an advantage over photography? An idea or concept is invisible to the eye and the camera lens. With time, skill and the right choice of software, virtual objects can be created to convincingly depict material objects.

Phantom Illustrator.ca, creates commissioned or royalty-free illustrations for all print and visual-ditigal media.

If you're not having fun, then it's up to you to make it.

Humour and working on innovative projects are Smith's favourite ways of having fun.

Editorial cartoons, caricatures or off-beat characters can be a subtle (or not-so subtle) way of conveying a message or making a point… or just having fun.

Phantom Illustrator.ca will create original cartoons, caricatures and portraits for corporate communications, media publications, and company and staff recognition celebrations.

Believing without seeing comes from faith.
Faithfully translating what was unseen comes from understanding.
Understanding comes from seeing.
Seeing is Believing.
