JOSE FERNANDEZ VILLAMAYOR – Designer

Cover Designer and Book Illustrator with + 10 years of experience. Editorial Art Specialist. I help authors bring their ideas to life!

Overview

I AM AN ILLUSTRATOR AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER, with more than 10 years of experience, based in Italy. I was also a university professor of illustration and design for 10 years, where I was able to share my experience with aspiring artists.

I HAVE WORKED WITH prestigious publishers in the United States, Europe, and Asia. But I have also worked on beautiful smaller projects. All of them are important to me.

NEW AUTHORS: I work with reduced special budgets for new authors who begin to publish their first works.

I LIKE TO SEEK INSPIRATION IN art history, illustration, comics, literature, film, and animation. All of this helps me create work that is unique and different, special for each project.

I AM AN EXPERT AT bringing an idea to visual life and connecting it with the right audience. I look forward to talking with you about your story and how I can make your idea a reality.

I AM VERSATILE, VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND DETAIL-ORIENTED. I'd love to hear about your project!
