About
Hi, I’m Ernesto Reyes 👋
I’m a Spanish illustrator and visual storyteller with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from Emily Carr University and a Master’s in Graphic Design from Barreira Art + Design. I specialize in narrative-driven illustration across comics, children’s books, and editorial work—bringing characters, worlds, and stories to life through expressive visuals, strong atmosphere, and clear emotional storytelling.
My experience includes leading art duties on ‘Knightress: The MidKnight Hunter’ (Revelations Comics), contributing to Ryan Haack’s ‘Unspeakable Text’ anthology, and creating full-page illustrations for ‘Chins and Elbows and Knees’ by Marilyn Browning. I work confidently across digital and print, with a solid foundation in composition, color theory, and sequential art.
Open to freelance projects, collaborations, and longer-term opportunities—feel free to reach out, I’d love to hear about your idea.
