                         All artwork on this website is ©Chris Whetzel. |  I have
always loved to draw! I can recall crude portraits of family members
from as early as what must have been three or four years old. The
doodles in textbooks and on my arms continued throughout high school.
Faced with parents determined to send their son to a college, I prepared
for what looked like a promising career of facts and figures. And
thus, the stage was set until my art teacher proposed applying to
an art school in Philadelphia...Since
that time, I have worked for numerous magazines, newspapers, advertising
agencies, and corporations.
Some generous recommendations: "When we needed to put together the ideas computers and hardcore rap we knew that Chris was the right guy for the job. He was able to blend together the complex issues in a conceptual and fun way. Chris gave us fresh and interesting ideas and was able to deliver from sketch to final. I can always count on Chris to deliver strong work in a professional and timely manner." -Dennis H, Cinncinnati Magazine "With a concept cover, the are no limits to what you can say, especially with such a talented illustrator as Chris. Once you settle on an appropriate style, the right illustrator can make the message resonate with the reader. Not all illustrators work the same way, but a good one will listen to all the things the client wants and doesn't want and then offer options. Chris provided four very tight sketches. Once the sketch was approved by the client with a few small adjustments, Chris began working on the color version and provided me with a finished product in two days." -Kerri D, MYBusiness Magazine “I commissioned Chris to illustrate a feature for our January issue about how to motivate and nurture people. Chris sent me several great sketches based on same basic ideas we provided. The result, a very impactfull final illustration, delivered on time under tight deadlines I look forward to working with Chris again.” -Scott V, Investment Advisor “I have worked with Chris Whetzel on several occasions and each time his work has always been of a consistently high quality. He is great to work with.” -Wayne F, The CRISIS Magazine | ||
