Hired on Thumbtack

It was so easy working with Jared. He knows what he is doing. He was so patient with my ideas and made sure I was getting the work that I wanted from him. He is really talented and so friendly. I love the way my book turned out. The illustrations really put the book all together in the perfect way.

Working with Jared on my children’s book has been such a positive experience. He is very responsive, professional, and extremely talented. He walked me through the entire process from beginning to end and was very patient and helpful when I wasn’t sure what I was doing! There were multiple stages—character design, thumbnails of the pages, sketches, and finally the colored pages and cover. At each stage I had opportunities to give feedback and make tweaks. He had fun ideas that I would never have thought of on my own, but he also worked hard to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. In the end, I received files ready to upload and publish so I didn’t have to do any of the formatting. He works very hard and very quickly. Hiring an illustrator is a big investment and can be a little scary, but I feel like I found a hidden gem with Jared. I will definitely be reaching out to him for future projects.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally figure out my prices by how many hours it will take me to complete the work. I will always be upfront with you about price and avoid any surprises along the way. I usually charge $175 per illustrated page and $350 for a front cover. I'm happy to talk about any discounts you may need!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Usually I will send you the quote and my idea for the project. After some more clarification from you I will give you the steps that I foresee ahead of us. If you decided to continue forward we will work out payment from there. I always make sure that you don't have to pay the full price until you have approved of the final product. I want you to be happy and to be able to use the art you get for the rest of your life.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed over 30 Children's Books! I have a Bachelors of Fine Art in Illustration from Utah Valley University. I'm currently getting my Masters Degree in Illustration from the University of Hartford. I took private art lessons from 15-18 and was always in an art class in school. From about the age of 16 I started teaching art lessons in the cities around me and almost always am teaching in one way or another. I am currently working full time doing art and loving it!
