Hi, I’m Kim Sponaugle, a children's book illustrator based in Pilesgrove, New Jersey. I specialize in character-based artwork, storytelling, and playful line art, and I excel at creating warm, engaging illustrations from photo references while delivering polished artwork remotely. Over the years I have illustrated 130+ children's books for traditional publishers and self-publishing authors, developing clear, clean line art in a coloring book style that resonates with young readers. I love collaborating with authors to bring stories to life, providing regular progress updates and drafts, and delivering high-quality digital files using Procreate and Adobe Illustrator. I am excited to bring 'H Is For Grandpa' to life with approachable, coloring-book visuals that invite kids to explore and color.
