Jen Montes - Freelancer

I'm a Generalist.

Still here? Great!

I'm currently working full-time as a character illustrator for "Archer", the hit animated series on FX Networks. My job requires that I create art assets in a wide variety of styles, so I won't shy away from imitating a specific look or creating a new style to fit the needs of the project. I'm proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, though I have experience in all Adobe products. In addition, I'm happy to work in traditional mediums such as charcoal, acrylics, gouache, and watercolor to create one-of-a-kind art objects.

I communicate well and naturally gravitate toward leadership roles in a team setting. I also strive to modify or create documentation and processes that will help the team work as efficiently as possible.

My technical skills include creating HTML, CSS, and Javascript code for online documents and applications, 5 years of experience creating themes and plugins for WordPress, and general programming experience in Python. I'm also experienced in software and hardware design and implementation for small electronics projects.

Freelance work for small illustration projects and commissions are welcome. Projects that include making something crazy (giant paper mache shark heads, solar-powered light installations, stained glass peacock sculptures)* will be met with unbridled enthusiasm.

*I have made all of these in the past. Let's make something crazy together.
