Overview
I will be available for new projects in September 2024. (No AI)
With over 25 years of experience illustrating books, I have built up a varied folio of work that can be adapted to suit any type of project. Published work includes picture books, chapter books, textbooks, craft books, and non-fiction titles. My passion is developing quality products for children. I live and work in Australia, but have clients in the UK, US, and China. I would love to work with you.
I love what I do, drawing pictures to delight children. Let me bring your story to life.
I started strong, being short-listed for the Lothian Centenary Children's Picture Book Award (AUS). Since then I have contributed cartoons and illustrations to over 300 book projects.
Did I mention I love what I do?
If you have a story that needs illustrating, contact me for a quote and a chat over a virtual coffee!
I have a fresh marketable style and a professional attitude with heaps of experience developing projects for commercial success.
It's your text, but teaming up with the right illustrator can lift the marketability of the book to a new level.
Sparkling text + Stunning pictures = Awesome Picture book.
I look forward to working with you soon,
Vaughan
