Mike Biegel creates commercial pen & ink
illustrations for corporate, small business and
editorial clients. His artwork includes two styles:
A fine-line detailed technique using a crow-quill
pen and a bold-line method created electronically.
Both are embellished with color using Photoshop
or Illustrator. Many are left as black and white
stand-alone images. His client list ranges
from The Metropolitan Opera Guild to
Simon Pearce Glassworks and more...

Vermont landscapes have long inspired the artist.
It's worth a visit to his independent e-commerce
website www.vermontholidaycards.com to see
the influence. Consumers and businesses alike
can purchase holiday cards of the illustrator's
stylized imagery with pre-printed or custom
personalized greetings, as well as giclée prints
suitable for framing.

The illustrator's architectural building portraits
are a powerful graphic alternative for
promoting your place of business on web sites
or the printed page. The artist also receives
personal commissions for house portraits
which are a unique gift option for the holidays
or special occasions.

In between freelance assignments from his
studio in Sharon Vermont the artist can be
found skiing the woods at Killington Resort,
hiking the trails behind his property or
keeping a steady eye on his vegetable garden.
His cat Piper enjoys living in Vermont too.
