Michael Petrus

As a creative professional, I strongly believe in the difference at first sight. That’s why I help my clients to stand out by using the power of comics, original illustrations, and animated videos to express their business identity and explain their products or services in a highly engaging way.

I have been working in the creative industry since 2007, successfully completing and managing over 400 projects. And while I am highly proficient in digital illustration myself, as a creative director, I prefer to team up with other outstanding professionals under the roof of my artBLOCK creative studio. Together, we can take on bigger assignments and offer a larger variety of styles and creative outputs, including animations, explainer videos and interactive presentations.

• Marketing illustrations and animated videos — I design visual marketing concepts to be applied both online and in print; illustrated websites, logos and brands including the whole communication style, visual marketing strategy, explainer videos, etc.
• Illustration and comics — I create original drawings and illustrations that fit neatly into your visual style, comics and storyboards for commercial purposes, as well as standalone pieces of digital art, infographics, award-winning book covers, etc.
• Consulting and production — I can consult or manage your creative projects from A to Z thanks to having a strong background in technologies, digital media, creative business management as well as startups as a co-founder of Nanits, a former Silicon Valley startup.
• Coaching for creatives — Helping other creatives is an important part of my professional mission. If you are a creative looking to improve your business, you can turn to me for advice or even apply for long-term coaching and consulting support.

I am creative, but also professional, well-organized and reliable, always delivering work on time — which is essential because creative work is time-consuming, and junior creatives often struggle to keep up with their deadlines. Over the years, I have perfected not only my craft but also the underlying creative process to prevent common misunderstandings and fulfill clients’ expectations. As a business owner, I know what my customers expect, and I have mastered the technologies needed to produce, implement, and deliver top-notch creative work — worldwide. I’m a creative geek and working with the latest technology is my second nature.

I’m here to help you — to be different, daring, and more successful in all things visual.
