Thomas Cosby Jr.
Artist | Hobbyist | Traditional Art
United States
I prefer to work with traditional materials, especially pen and ink (dip pens with Esterbrook nibs) and markers (Prismacolor and Crayola SuperTips).
I attended Vincennes University for funeral service/science but found my passion in art, switching my major to Illustration/Graphic Design. I completed 76 credit hours, but never finished the degree.
I have worked several freelance projects (my Behance portfolio
[link] and oDesk feedback, test scores, etc.
[link] ), but I am available for new clients. I am also available for commissions - just send me a note.
Often I am involved with contests/challenges to give me unique drawings, and the experience - as such I favorite them so I know where to notify the contest of my finished entries.


Random Fact: I broke my drawing hand after my cat/kitten Shadow died - my hand will never be normal again. Two of my metacarpal's (in the palm of my hand) now curve under two of my phalanges (fingers) at the joint.
