I have 30 years of illustration and design experience and I am also a caricaturist of 12 years.
I have had several children’s books published in the past 2 years with my illustrations and I am very adaptable working in many formats from hand-drawn (colored pencil, watercolor, oil, acrylic, etc.) to digital formats and styles from realistic to cartoony. I understand the personal connection one has when writing these kinds of books and will work with you to bring your ideas to a visual reality.
I would take your ideas and create preliminary sketches for your approval. Changes and alterations can be done at this time and once approved, I would create the final illustrations and save in a print-ready format for publication.
I like to be fairly compensated for my work just like everyone but don’t take my years of experience to mean expensive. I do this for the love of the art and to see others, like yourself, get their work published and am flexible in how I am paid. I placed an estimated bid not knowing how many illustrations you need for this project but I can work hourly, per illustration or for a flat fee. If chosen, I will work with you for the best solution for both.
Please check out my portfolio here and my website for client reviews and other examples of my work and contact me with any questions or concerns you may have prior to your final decision.
Thank you for your consideration.
