Recommendations For Martheus

“Martheus is a highly talented designer who listens to clients’ needs and produces work on time and on budget.

He works well with colleagues and clients, and he consistently exceeds expectations from concept through

completion, which is why I have hired him for many different projects. Martheus is my first choice for creative

design work.”

Great Results, Good Value, Creative

“Mr Wade does great work. Martheus makes the design come alive. I highly recommend Mr Wade for all design

needs. He has done t-shirts, art posters and advertisements for me. All were of the highest quality and exceeded

my expectations.”

Great Results, Expert, Creative

“Mr. Wade does excellent work. I love his style of illustration, and his eye for creative design is very refreshing.

I’ve witnessed Mr. Wade beat many a deadline, often working into the wee morning hours, all because a client

asked for a very quick turnaround.”

“Martheus’ work on an ongoing series of projects for us was an excellent addition to our product line. He was

on time, and delivered exactly as needed.”

Great Results, Good Value, On Time

“Hi-Fi and Martheus have collaborated on several time sensitive projects including comic books, art instruction

books and DVD’s. Martheus met every deadline and his artwork exceeded all expectations. Fans love his illus-

trations and his creative characters. I’ve personally colored several black and white images created by Martheus

and found them to be easy and intuitive to work with. Martheus has an eye for dynamic light and shadow and

a keen knack for dynamic visual storytelling. I highly recommend Martheus to anyone looking for an expert

illustrator for any and all projects requiring cartoon or comic book style artwork.”

“I have not worked with Martheus Wade nearly enough. In fact, Martheus’ skill as a storyteller and artist, not to

mention his infectious enthusiasm for his work, are such that one can never work with Martheus enough. He is

an asset to any project lucky enough to have him, and I look forward to collaborating with him again as soon as

possible.”

“Martheus is an amazing artist and visionary story teller. I have known him for the several years and am con-

stantly impressed with his level of professionalism and natural intuition for producing the highest quality of

work.”
