Illustrator / Sketch Artist

This is a Freelance Job

The Refinery is an award-winning entertainment advertising agency located in the Los Angeles area. We work with all of the major studios producing creative digital, print, and A/V campaigns for theatrical properties and television/streaming content. We are seeking to expand our ability to service our clients with an enthusiastic, detail-oriented individual who has project management experience in a fast-paced environment.

First off, we are seeking candidates who embody our core values – Refiners are talented, kind, client-focused, ego free and passionate. In addition, even when our clients change their minds for seemingly the 100th time – we don't ever quit. We still celebrate everything – from birthdays to Black History month to National Donut Day! Our highly competitive Halloween costume contest continued virtually this year and didn't disappoint. We've also organized some great virtual events including a sunflower-growing contest, poker and trivia nights, and Zoom yoga and meditation.

Enough about us, here's what we're looking for in a candidate:
• Experienced Freelance or Full Time Illustrator/Sketch Artist who can readily translate conceptual direction for movie posters into traditional pencil (non-color) drawings that can be presented to clients.
• Entertainment advertising industry experienced preferred!
• Portfolio demonstrating your amazing work, including thumbnails and an emphasis on figure drawing.
• Outstanding skills in perspective, shading, and likeness.
• Highly collaborative (no divas please!)

We will consider for employment all qualified Applicants, including those with Criminal Histories, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the City of Los Angeles' Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance.
