My name is Todd Van Linda, and I am a freelance Concept Artist and illustrator from West Palm Beach, Florida. While I have been drawing with pencil and pen and ink since I was a child, I have been working freelance full - time as an artist / illustrator since January of 2010. My previous work has been quite the mix; I'm not sure that there's anything I haven't illustrated at one time or another, in one style or another. While I am a big adherent to traditional pencil and pen and ink techniques, I am also a daily Photoshop user for the digital aspects. Digital painting is a major focus. A REQUEST FOR QUOTE NEEDS TO INCLUDE: 1. WHAT you want 2. HOW MANY you want 3. WHAT style, type, other applicable details you want 4. WHAT it should look like when done 5. WHEN you want it / them. 6. And anything else you feel is important. I am neither the cheapest nor the fastest, and I never will be either of those things. If that's what you're after, best move on. If, on the other hand, you want a highly skilled illustrator that takes your project, characters and story seriously, one who takes the time to read and delve into the details to truly represent your story and what goes into it, then you're in the right place. *My proposal has some very plain language in regard to CHANGES and ADDITIONS.

Cover Art - The Other Realms series: Book 1 - The Ard-Righ (translated from high Celtic as The High-Kiing" • $2,090 USD

Todd is a great communicator. He listened to my ideas, and then they appeared on paper. His concept renderings for my characters were spot on, and the cover art is impressive. Highly recommend!

This was my first experience using a Freelancer. I was very impressed and very satisfied. The communication was great and expedient. The ability to understand the manner in which the art was being requested via chat is not simple, yet it went well, and it didn't take that much back and forth and initial artistic impressions to accomplish the final realists. I highly recommend Todd V as a Freelancer. In the future if more art is desired on my end, I will certainly be contacting Todd. V [25 June, 2025] This was my first time working with a freelancer. The experience was much better than expected. The communication in regard to what was desired and how to accomplish it was excellent. The artwork was very well done in all aspects. I would recommend this freelancer to everyone without reservation.

Cartoon Illustration for Brand Promotion • $1,000 USD

Terrible communication with Todd, He did not come close to what was requested. He took $1000 from me with his sneaky billing process, and I have nothing to show. [31 May, 2025] ripped me off. Did not return money and work was not good. I showed Todd a project and he told me he could re create it. Then proceeded to make an entirely diff character

America's top 30 idioms and their Origins

Fred Engh

Let me bounce something off you. I heard it through the grapevine that there are over 25,000 idioms in the English language. That's straight from the horse's mouth. Now don't get up in arms or beside yourself as I spill the beans on the top 30 ones that will make you think something is fishy about this book. Take it with a grain of salt and don't think I'm off my rocker when I suggest that you use this book for your tank top as you bite the bullet and do your morning constitution.
