Story

I aim to sprinkle a bit of magic around.

• Unique illustration
• Affordable prices - negotiable and dependent on scale of work
• Happy you (and me) win – win

I’m an illustrator to the bottom of my soul. My work has been published in New Zealand and overseas. Whatever the discipline or scale, I am working in, the imagery usually ends up strongly pictorial. Please visit my website to view my gallery. http://www.rozpaterson.com/portfolio.html
My love of illustration was kindled by the fantasy worlds created by such artists as; Arthur Rackham, Heath Robinson, Aubrey Beardsley and Maxfield Parish.
Nowadays fantasy films, books and game/concept art are my preferred sources of inspiration. My main passion is creating images in Photoshop. This programme is now my drug of choice (could be a lot worse!) and I start to whimper when deprived for too long.

My personal philosophy:
Before I begin anything, meet anyone or venture forth anywhere, I ask myself:
What can I bring to this situation? I believe life is all about ‘adding to.’ One way I can effectively do this is by making beautiful work.
