“I have known and worked with Janice Blaine for the last four months. During that time, I was struck by her level of maturity, her knack for common sense as well as her abilities as a talented artist. She is possessed of an even temper and a persona{ble} disposition, which makes her easy to work with, teach and know. All the assignments she has ever worked on have been done efficiently, effectively, and on time.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Janice Blaine over the last year. She has filled the role of Background artist with great effectiveness. Her line work and composition are top notch. The time she spends gathering extensive reference material truly make her backgrounds come to life. She has also provided us with some wonderful FX animation.
Janice is a conscientious and hard working individual. She is a self-starter and works well independently. You would be doing yourself a favor by employing her.”

I have no hesitation in recommending her to other studios and, would welcome the opportunity to work with her in the future.”

"Janice and I connected in the Spring  of 2008 when she submitted a few of her art pieces for inclusion consideration in The Violet Ray – Natural Health and Conscious Living Magazine. Immediately upon seeing her work I knew this was an excellent fit for the magazine. Janice channels Reiki into her artwork and it definitely shows through the gentle flow and harmonizing form that seem to shape her pieces. Her work reaches beyond our imagination creating a loving landscape of energetic characters, figures and their divine connection to nature.

The Violet Ray published her art “The Root Chakra” in the Spring Issue and “Lunar Currents” in the August/September Issue of 2008. In both issues her artwork was well received by the readers of The Violet Ray! I would highly recommend Janice for any projects you might have that require the vision and skill to bring your ideas to life."

“Janice Blaine has an incredible artistic talent. Her illustration and cover work for Neo-opsis Science Fiction Magazine issue 8 attracted many new readers to the magazine. Some feedback comments included:

"I loved Janice Blaine's 'Love Among the Vacuum Spiders' illustration."
"The cover illustration made you want to read the story it was illustrating."
“The cover drew me in, and I had to buy the magazine."
"The cover illustration made me want to explore."
"The subject of the cover should have turned me off, but somehow Janice Blaine made it seem attractive, even romantic."

Janice is an easy to work with artist, with a vast creative talent. I find her work has a fanciful quality that makes me want to know more about each piece. Janice Blaine handled her Neo-opsis issue 8 assignment with quality, and met the deadline without a problem. I will gladly work with her again”.

When I hired Janice Blaine as an illustrator for my children's book I had some idea from her website how she might be. However, her professionalism far exceeded my expectations. Her insight into the characters was uncanny and right on the mark. She finished her illustrations way ahead of schedule and when I asked for a little direction she was willing to help. I really loved working with her and look forward to having her illustrate my next book.
It is a pleasure to work with someone as talented and professional as my children's book illustrator Janice Blaine.

Janice has worked on Beacon News' logo/masthead and brochures. She always brings a great creative eye and very solid technical skills to every project she works on for us. I can't say enough good things about her professionalism and work ethic, which is a delightful change of pace from other designers we have worked with. Our company will definitely be engaging Ms. Blaine in the future. I highly recommend her.

General

Some people have artistic talent that will take your breath away.  Janice Blaine of Painter's Block Studio is one of those people. Her watercolours are things of absolute beauty and every one tells a story.  Be it her Hawaii, science fiction, or mythical pieces they just captivate you.

For the past three years I have been very fortunate to have Janice on my team at The Financial Guides as my most capable assistant and graphic artist.  Janice has created all of the artwork for our cards, our calendars, and most recently updated our logo.

With more experience, work ethic, and talent than any artist I have ever even heard of Painter's Block can help you make your business stand out in a beautiful and memorable way.

Tammy Johnston
CEO and Founder of The Financial Guides

Wow, your depth in sight, intuition and wisdom is enough to not only be eye-catching, but inspirational. You are aptly named Painter's Block. It seems like every piece you do can inspire someone to look deeper into their own worlds. If a word is worth a thousand pictures and a picture is worth a thousand words, then by far, you have a library in a single deviation. Wonderful work dear!
