~ Testimonials ~
"For over 12 years Nigel has produced quality and innovative work including storyboards for use as individual stills and for incorporating into video animations. His ability to bring to life my simple 'stick-like' sketches and even bringing a few lines of text into pictorial life has always been nothing short of amazing. Keep up the great work."
Group Head of Learning & Development
"I first met Nigel some 20 years ago and I have used his services ever since for all my graphic art. He is a ‘natural’. As well as being a talented and excellent illustrator and cartoonist, he is also a great concept man. He accurately interprets what’s in my head bringing it vibrantly to life. Nigel has the patience of a saint and is a joy to work with."
