Overview
I have been an illustrator for decades. I am well versed in children's books, and the publishing industry. This experience is very important to create beautiful, exciting, and engaging books. I know how to illustrate a story and paginate to keep the story flowing and entice the reader to turn the page.
I am also traditionally published with my own author/illustrator picture book. This experience helps me to create a more marketable look for your book.
I can illustrate the entire picture book from cover to interior. Or if you have a middle grade, the cover, and interior black and white spot illustrations.
I work digitally. On occasion, if the work calls for it, I might incorporate traditionally illustrated aspects. The point is to make every book special and unique and to have the illustrations enhance the text. My work is whimsical.
Before I sign on to a project, I require the manuscript so I can be sure I am the best illustrator for your story.
I provide sketches and rough color schemes so you can envision how your project will look.
And plenty of communication at each step so there are no unexpected surprises.
Getting your book to the illustration stage is a fun, and exciting step ☺️
Please note, I provide illustrations services only, I do not offer graphic design services.
