Oh, hello! After a decade making art, designing graphics, and telling stories at advertising agencies, I currently work in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo as a freelance artist and creative director. Be it with character illustration or product graphics, my works goes big and bold while using negative space to invite imagination.
Let’s collaborate! If you would like to commission an illustration or discuss a bigger project, please email me directly at email@ejeanfrye.com.
