World Class Artists
Finding an artist to create cartoons is harder than you might imagine. Our content consultant was assigned the task of finding a new artist and began by looking for a graphic artist. However, she soon discovered that so called graphic "artists" are actually graphic "designers," who are really good at layout and working with stock photography, cut outs, vector images and fonts, but do not create original drawings as part of their work on a daily basis.
Once we started to receive artist's portfolios we looked for someone who we thought could translate our ideas into not only high quality cartoons but also cartoons that are fun and intelligent. In addition, since nearly everyone involved with the Nigro Firm is a self employed team member, we looked for a talented, self motivated artist who is interested in being a valuable contributing team member and open to working in a unique partnership type environment.
Chaise Payan
It was quite serendipitous how we found Chaise to do our latest set of cartoons. We had been looking for a month or so and only found graphic designers or artists who were not local, and we were hoping to find someone that we could actually talk to in person and interact with. By chance, one evening at a local art gallery we got lucky. Our content consultant was at the gallery and struck up a conversation with one of the artists, a photographer, who happened to work at the local university in the art department. So the question was asked if she knew any local illustrators and she said, "Yes I do. I know one." And that is how the Nigro Firm found Chaise Payan.
