Hi! My name is Martina Peškar-Rusznák, and I’m a middle-grade book illustrator based in Prague, Czech Republic. I’m so happy you’re here! I create whimsical digital illustrations that bring humor, warmth, and atmosphere to all stories. My style is cartoony and expressive, full of emotion and storytelling. For interior art, I often work in digital ink black and white, while my covers feature digital watercolor for a softer, more vibrant look. I especially love drawing animals that are curious, fun, and full of personality. I’ve illustrated five published children’s books and worked on a wide range of creative projects—from book layouts and surface designs to planners, cards, and educational materials. I’m currently open to freelance illustration and book projects, as well as collaborations with publishers and agents.
