Paul Mirocha Illustration
It's in the details.
I create award-winning illustrations for commercial, educational, and scientific clients. Most of my work is highly detailed digital paintings. This is supported by a strong background in traditional drawing, painting, and field sketching. I’m not satisfied until my clients love my work.
Images are like magic to me. I'm almost obsessed with making pictures. The world contains infinite details, and I'm fascinated with each and every one of them. So I work in a super-realistic style with a traditional painter's eye.
But I want my illustrations to be better than real in the viewer's imagination. Not only will I render that cookie accurately and make it beautiful, you will want to take a bite out of it!
What I do
Illustrations for advertising and product packaging: Super-realistic Illustrations that surpass photographs in appeal to the imagination, especially in hard to photograph subjects like food.
Children's book illustration: Realistic illustration with personality that helps a young reader learn while becoming absorbed in a story. I've also created art for children's products like pop-up books, games, and toys.
Interpretive exhibit illustration: Besides producing accurate and attractive art for interpretive exhibits, I can provide graphic design, graphic panel digital file preparation, and oversee printing in a variety of signage media. I've also served as a consultant for exhibit design development and testing.
Maps and infographics: Finding your way through a well designed map is like walking through a zen garden. A map can convey an integrated understanding of an impossibly complex subject like no other type of image. I can do that.
Illustrations for science publishing: Highly detailed images for text books and corporate communications that make complicated subjects easy to understand for both kids and adults. In fact, if kids can understand it, usually the adults can too.
Graphic Design: I don't want to say that I can do everything, but I do have a couple of decades of experience as a full time graphic designer. I apply those skills now mostly to my illustration projects.
