Why Illustration?

If you are a business, you might ask yourself how illustration might be relevant to you.

Well, have you ever bought a new brand of beer or coffee because the label art caught your eye? Have you ever taken a chance and listened to an album from an unknown artist on Spotify because you liked the album art? Or have you ever taken a minute to look at a sign for a business simply because the art attracted your eyes?

That, my friend, is the power of a good illustration. It captures a person’s attention. It quickly and efficiently communicates something about who you are and what you do. It makes people want to know more. Most importantly, it helps you connect your brand to someone who never knew they wanted it until they saw some really cool art around it. Art is a universal language, let it speak for you.

About Me

Hello!  

My name is Sid Quade. I was born in Wichita, KS and grew up in the Kansas City area. For all my life, I’ve had a passion for drawing and art, which lead me to pursue it professionally as I got older. I went to the Kansas City Art Institute, where I graduated with a degree in Animation. After graduation, I pursued work in  freelance illustration, animation and graphic design. I currently still live in the Kansas City area with two cats. My other passions outside of drawing are RPG games, fantasy, horror, retro Americana, history, oddities and folklore.   

A Bit About My Background-

I have had four years of formal art training and graduated KCAI with a BFA in animation, as well as being self-taught in illustration/comics for many more years. As I have worked in animation, illustration, and comics I have tirelessly developed my skills. This interdisciplinary work has made me a well-rounded, multi-faceted artist who is willing to tackle any artistic challenge presented.
Professionally, I have tackled many different projects and look forward to working on many more.
Other past projects I have worked on are being a contributing artist on “Galaxy Girl” Issue 1 by Andrew Taylor, spot illustrator for “Triple Ace Games”, being a freelance artist for Custom Tattoo Design and more.

If you are looking for a talented artist who can get you a high-quality product done on time, I would love to talk to you.

Below is a resume and some letters of recommendation.
