Seth Wilks – Designer

Children's book illustrator and artist in the animation industry, I want to use my skills and experience to help bring your stories to life.

Overview

As an animation artist and children's book illustrator, I know how to bring stories to life with pictures. I'm also a storyteller, having written multiple books, including a middle grade novel where I was able to create accompanying illustrations for the chapters.

I love stories with action and imagination, particularly stories featuring children overcoming great odds. But really, I love any well told tale, especially when it gets my pencil (usually a digital one) moving with the possibilities.

I do family friendly work. While the stories don't necessarily need to be aimed at kids, I don't do material with suggestive themes, meant for "mature" audiences.

Contact me with your tall-tale, and we can see if we're a good fit for each other!
