John Joven – Designer

Freelance Illustrator over 20 years collaborating in creative projects for a diverse range of companies around the world.

Overview

I´m a freelance Graphic Designer, Full-time illustrator based in Bogotá, Colombia.

One day I started by copying some Transformers characters from TV, doodling them in workbooks since then I can´t stop to draw, it is a Huge gift from heaven and I enjoyed a lot to be paid for having fun! Along with my main activity, I do comics too in my spare time, just as a hobby now.

I had the opportunity with my illustration and character creation to bring to life Characters, Scenes, and worlds in several articles in magazines, funny ideas on children's books, and animation projects around the globe.

Clients include Amazon Inc., Scholastics, NATGEO Channel, Penguin, VISA, Trillium, Egmont, Usborne, Benchmark, Red Chair Press, Pearson, Macmillan, Standard Publishing, Kumon, Highlights, WorkStyle, Planeta, El Tiempo, SM, McGraw-Hill, Speakaboos, Perseus.
