Nick Velardi

Illustrator and Designer

Long Branch, NJ, USA
As a freelance illustrator, I am always eager to find new challenges. There really is no area of illustration and design that does not interest me. I have a particular penchant for cartooning and humor and work mainly in traditiional media, though I am well versed in digital illustration as well. I love working with other creative people and finding exciting visual solutions to any project.
