LERI ILLUSTRATION

Hi, my name is David Leri and I am an illustrator working out of Columbus, OH.  I have been working professionally since 1996.  My artwork has been used on many game and book covers as well as featured in many magazines.  My painting style tends to be fairly realistic which means that I frequently need to shoot photo reference for the characters portrayed in my paintings.  At times it is difficult to find someone that fits the description a publisher has given to me.  I was hoping that this site might be helpful in that regard.  I do pay, and pay is negotiable.  Most photo shoots don't take more than an hour and they generally involve dressing in some sort of period costume or other outfit depending on the genre of the book or story.  I don't have much nudity in my portfolio so that generally isn't an issue.  If you want to bring along an escort, I understand, and I have no problem with that. I am more than happy to provide a copy of the painting as well as a copy of the printed piece when it is published if the model is interested.  Please check out my website daveleri.com. It may be helpful in answering any questions that you may have or in giving you some sort of idea of the kind of work that I have done in the past.
