LOGO DESIGN

So many Artists create their logo designs on a computer program like Illustrator or Photoshop. Some on an iPad with Procreate. I create everything by hand. Pencil to paper, I begin creating the masterpiece that reflects the unique and rare parts of who you are as a business owner and what your business illuminates. Being a deep thinker in all parts of my life, I feel a hand illustrated logo offers something that something created on a screen doesn’t. In no way do I think that type of art is less than what I do, but its process is less personal. Less raw. Less true to the organic nature of what comes to life through the drawing process.

After my logos are drawn in Micron Pen on Smooth Bristol paper, I will then send it off to my design team and have them Vector your piece for you for all printing and web needs! This means you have the same type of files a designer would provide you with, in addition to a custom piece of art you will be sent and can put up in your home or office. There is something special in my eyes about having the original drawing of your logo. That 40 years from now you could glance over on your wall and see what started your empire you have today. That is my dream, that is what I hope to be helping people with for years to come.

CUSTOM ART BOOKINGS

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your continued support in commissioning artwork! I absolutely love the client list I have developed over the last 8 years! I truly feel my work has attracted the exact type of clients I have always strived to gain. Kind, Compassionate, and connected.

Somedays I wake up and one of my clients stories pops into my mind, it blows me away the strength in human beings. It is not rare anymore for clients to share their life story with me, the longer you create custom art for clients, the more well versed you become in opening up to others and them opening up to you. Its such a beautiful connection that I am honored to have. And the more depth to a project assigned to me to draw, the better it comes out. Clients have shared stories of grief, euphoric joyful moments in their lives, accomplishments, failures, hardship, family etc. Through hearing these stories I realize more and more how connected we really are as a species.

We are not alone, we are all one. One letter makes all the difference and I continue to set out to help bridge that gap we all tend to go to when going through hardship. The clients who have gone through hell and back are often commissioning a very intricate and thoughtful piece for someone else. Their kindness, even through trials and tribulations lights up the world. That is one of the best parts of doing what I do. Hearing others stories, and then seeing that through all of the “ugliness” life throws at them, they still are thinking of others and what they can do to bring light to another life. Wow. I am just the illustrator, they are the real creator. I give my clients all the credit.

I love you all!

OLD POWER PLANT STUDIO

In relocating sometimes you don’t find the perfect place the first go around. Now, I have. This new studio of mine is in an old Power Plant building that has been converted into live/work units. On one side of my studio, the entire wall is old industrial windows so there is amazing natural light! It is my own little chunk of heaven. I will get it photographed and add pictures to my site for you guys to see! Now being a New Braunfels Artist

-TRAVEL-

Since buying my travel van, I have felt more alive than ever. I have seen things, been part of things and drawn in some of the most incredible places. I have been a little off the grid, so I apologize for the delay in the post.

I have traveled to 7 states over the last 3 months, I have spent countless nights in my van. Woke up in Yellowstone, on the rivers of Montana, in the mountains of Colorado, beaches of California, and feel so alive. I drove through the 4 corners, visited both my parents and even got to see my dads new home in Scottsdale. I have been able to see my best friend and teach her how to fish, and had the honor of watching one of my friends get married to her soulmate. Truthfully, I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I am soaking up all the goodness that my life has been in the recent months.

I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have helped make this possible. I could not see what I have seen or created whats been created without you. Your support means everything. I settles anxiety when I ask myself why I do this, when I am lonely and overworked, I have your support and for that I am the luckiest person in the world. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I will continue to create from my heart and sharpen my skills as an artist. Feel free to say hey on the Contact tab or email me at rashellestetman@gmail.com! I would love to connect with you!
