Hi! Brad Sneed, here.

First things first. You may be wondering if you’re in the right place. Well, if you’re looking for Brad the picture book illustrator, then yes, you’ve found me! If you want Brad the surface designer, I’m your guy. Acquiring art for the lobby, office, or home? That’s me, too.

I wear several artist hats, so it’s probably no surprise that not all of the art I make looks alike. What works for a picture book illustration, for example, will be out of place on a tablecloth, or a silk scarf, or hanging in a bank lobby. I get a charge from tackling visual puzzles by utilizing very different sensibilities to come up with the best possible solution, be it the best way to tell a story with pictures, creating a pleasing rhythm of color, shape, and space for a repeating pattern, or capturing a passerby’s gaze with an engaging abstract painting.

Regardless of why you’re here, I’m glad you are! Allow me to make the following suggestions…

•If you are a picture book editor or art director, please take a look at my portfolio, and my published books.

•If you are an Elementary School Media Specialist, or Principal, or PTA Committee Chair, you may be interested to learn about my school visit programs.

•If you are looking for patterns to adorn textiles, apparel, home décor, or paper products, check out my surface designs.

•Check out my shop, where you will find notecards and paintings for sale.
