Dustin Hansen – Designer

Hey there! My name is Dustin and I'm an illustrator. I've published books with DC, MacMillian, and more. MG Graphic novels are my jam!

Overview

Hi! My name is Dustin and I'm a professional author/illustrator working out of rural Utah. You know, the place with big red rocks where the dinosaurs used to hang out. I'm passionate about storytelling and how art can play a place in that process. I've been working professionally as an artist for almost three decades, in the video games, toy, and book world. I'm super schedule driven, love feedback early and often, and believe that the best things come when people are willing to collaborate. I love color, quirky characters, and complex backgrounds. I'd LOVE to help you bring your project to life!

My most recent graphic novel with DC is called My Video Game Ate My Homework. It was amazing because DC allowed me to create my own IP! I was the author and illustrator for this book.

I am so glad I decided to work with Dustin! He went above and beyond, his illustrations are incredible, he was so helpful and accommodating, and I just couldn't imagine a better cover. Honestly, the hardest part was picking one of his wonderful sketches. Thank you Dustin!
