Storybook worlds. Expressive characters. Art that feels alive.
From watercolor whimsy to Pixar sparkle — I bring stories to life.
Specializing in character-driven, whimsical, and expressive illustration—especially for picture books, middle-grade fantasy, and narrative-driven projects. I’m a professional children’s book illustrator and visual storyteller with 20+ years’ experience creating vivid, heartwarming imagery for readers of all ages. I illustrate children’s books that feel alive—expressive characters, cinematic moments, and colors that invite kids to turn the page.
My work spans whimsical picture-book, watercolor/ink, realistic storybook, and 3D/Pixar-style illustration. Deliverables include print-ready JPG/PNG/PDF, layered PSDs, and (if you like) full production: cover design, page layout, and press-ready/Kindle exports. You’ll have clear milestones, reliable updates, and a commercial license that lets you publish confidently.
You can also find my work on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart.
Hit ‘Invite to Job’ with page count + deadline, and style preference, and I’ll reply the same day with an estimate and schedule.
