Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Tina Vaziri, an incredibly talented illustrator whose work is proudly featured in both magazines and households nationwide. Tina’s illustrations can be viewed on her website. Make sure to stop by her blog as well.
1. What is an illustration? James Montgomery Flagg (the famous illustrator behind the Uncle Sam “I want you for the U.S. Army” poster) was quotes as saying that “The only difference between a fine artist and an illustrator is that the latter can draw, eats three square meals a day, and can afford to pay for them.” Illustrators are paid, for their individual styles, to create images that bring a clients product to another level of completion and uniqueness. This provides additional information to the viewer and sets the clients product apart from competitors.
