Illustration tells a story. Sometimes it tells that story independently of words. Sometimes it tells a story in parallel to words, enhancing and deepening their meaning. My images show as wide a variety of styles and touches as the stories and emotions they illustrate. If you like something you see in the images on the left and wonder if it could be developed for your needs and budget, please contact me at jcali@gol.com. Image rental available from 10,000 yen (100 dollars). Images for educational use are available at a 50 percent discount.
