Who the Hell is Martin Whitmore?
What an excellent question! Two cookies for you.
Martin Whitmore is a dangerous and brilliant evil illustrator who specializes in abstract concepts and character development, with a particular passion for anything that involves horror elements, hot scantily-clad pinup girls, D&D and adventure comics. He does lots of brilliant business illustration as well, including his work on The Usual Error (book page, illustration gallery) and illustrations for business websites, like the Raw Foods Witch, Sell What’s In Your Head, Linda Eaves’ Getting Off the Couch and Into the World, and dozens of others. He’s also done illustration work for Naomi Dunford’s IttyBiz SpeakEasy, Sonia Simone’s Remarkable Marketing Blueprint, countless small content illustrations, quite a few beautiful headers, and every now and then, an Evil Dead cast members portrait. He’s also illustrated a few really great ebooks, and he maintains a webcomic called Tasty Flesh about strippers surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Book Illustration
You’ve written your book, or your eBook, and you’re really excited about it… and you think maybe it’s missing something. A few illustrations here or there would really make it pop. But while you’re great at stick figures, you think something more professional would be just the ticket.
Among others, Marty’s done illustrations for:
- Ideaschema’s The Idea Catalyst Kit
- Pace and Kyeli’s The Usual Error
and The Creative Spark Plug Lecture Series.

Business Illustration
Having a business is all about branding. In this age of the internet, every business has more and more facets of itself
to put across to its customers.
For your online presence, Marty makes banners, website headers, custom avatars, and pretty much anything else you can dream up. He can put together a banner for your website that includes an image of you — and you can use that image as a custom avatar on your social networking sites. Now that’s branding.
He also makes beautiful hand-drawn illustrations for use on the packaging of your products, or in your business pamphlets, that all of your clients will comment on with admiration.

Custom Commissions
Do you have an image in your head, and you just love it, but you know your artistic skills are not up to the challenge of producing it to your satisfaction? Marty can take your wildest imaginings and put them to paper for you (or canvas) in pencil, ink or in full color.
