PROFILE

Jude Maceren - illustrator

Illustration is my passion and with this creative talent, I gained experience doing illustration projects which are mainly used for editorial, advertising and corporate clients. My work is conceptual and stylize which solve effectively the creative needs of my clients. I spend time working on my illustration projects in New Jersey, USA where my studio is located. In Costa Rica, I developed my fine art work aside from my illustration career and established another art studio there, where I spend part of my time. Most of my paintings are done in watercolor and oil with tropical inspiration. I invite you to view them by clicking on the "fine art portfolio" button in my website. I studied advertising design at the University of Santo Tomas, College of Fine Arts in the Philippines, where I was born. During the years of my art profession, I became more involve in illustration and pursue it as my full time career. My greatest strength is conceptual illustration which I really love to do and my work is done digitally as well as traditionally.

Awards I received are: United Nations Stamp Design Award, Boli Award (Best of Long Island Award), Optima Design Award, Northwest Craftmen's Club Award, The Visual Club Award and New Jersey Press Association Award.
