Im Dusty Marchand! Im an Illustrator and Designer from Massachusetts who focuses on a variety of subjects from childrens toys to book covers to character design. I like to work with colors that particularly "pop" out of the screen at you. Im also more than capable of producing work that is much more subtle and subdued should the project call for it! I started as a self-taught artist when I was 16 and eventually enrolled in the Masschusetts College of Art and Design's Illustration program where I graduated with my BFA in 2021. I spent the next year and a half working whatever jobs i was able to get as an illustrator, eventually obtaining a contract to work as a product designer for Starmerx in 2021. I have continued to work freelance the entire time and love being able to work directly with such a wide variety of clients to be able to address all their needs. I have extensive knowledge of over 7 years in Clip Studio Paint, as well as significant experience with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. I have a keen eye when it comes to layout and color theory, and when the project calls for that extra flare, I provide my own hand drawn typography to help it stand out.
