A production artist carries out the designs of a head designer - either toiling alone or as part of a team. The artwork is that of the designer but the actual finished work that the public sees is from the hands of the production artist.
Unfortunately production artists sometimes work in anonymity and are either credited or not credited based on the whims and ethics of the designer.
This folder shows work I did for other mosaic designers as a production artist and assistant starting in the winter of 2006.
