I illustrated well-beyond the hundreds of love story commissions from magazine editors and also promoted music artists on LP covers as well as drawing the stars themselves. I’ve promoted many products from Yves Rochez to Vidal Sassoon. From fitness exercises to slimmers’ chewing gum. Here a few examples…
