Wayne Oram – Designer

I have been illustrating for over 40 years, with experience spanning editorial, animation, games, and comics. For the last five years, my focus has been on children’s books, from playful picture books to richly illustrated chapter books. If you pick me as your illustrator, you get more than just artwork: you get a creative partner who can help shape characters, build worlds, and bring your story to life in a way that feels unique and memorable.

I do not use AI in any way. I have accepted that it will replace me in a few years so please don't ask me to do it.

I work in both traditional and digital media, often starting with loose, expressive ink sketches before refining into vibrant, polished illustrations. Clients tell me I’m easy to collaborate with — responsive, reliable, and enthusiastic about turning their vision into something special. Whether you’re self-publishing your first story or adding to an existing series, I’ll deliver artwork that dances around your text.

But don’t take my word for it see my testimonials in my gallery.
