Book Illustration
Although I offer a wide variety of graphic design services, I have
a special place in my heart for Children’s Book Illustration.

Grumpy Claus
This humorous Christmas story is a great addition to any holiday bookshelf. The funny illustrations give kids a lot to look at, as they watch the story unfold.
I Uh oh, Santa’s in trouble, and it’s two days before Christmas. Santa Claus got up on the wrong side of the bed. He’s stomping around NO – NO – NOING instead of HO – HO – HOING, scoffing at the elves and even scolding Rudolph. He’s just plain grumpy, throwing his famous red suit around and pushing his favorite cookies away; Santa Claus has turned into Grumpy Claus. But luckily, Mrs. Claus calls a family meeting with the elves and reindeer. Together they make a plan to bring Santa Claus back and save Christmas.
Come Join Us in Our Campervan
This book was so much fun to work on. Phillippa and Rose were involved every step of the way, from character development through text formatting .
I take pride in client satisfaction. That is going to mean different things to different authors. Sometimes an author will want to shoot me a manuscript, and approve updates along the way. Other times, clients may want to join the creative process in a more hands on way. Either way is fine for me!
These illustrations started as pencil sketches, with a few versions of each character. After a round of feedback, we hit the story board phase. I created these images in Adobe Photoshop on a sketched draft. The vibrant colors and textures make the illustrations pop.
My Cousins, My Friends
A lovely, heartfelt story about the special place cousins hold in our hearts. The analogy of branches and leaves on a family tree is easy for kids to understand .
Diana provided me with a wealth of beautiful photos to inspire the illustrations in My Cousins, My Friends. Her Italian heritage motivated her to offer this book in 3 bilingual options. It is available in English/Italian, English/Spanish and English French.
I always enjoy working with Diana. This is just one of several books we have completed together. All of the illustrations began as pencil drawings, with a first layer of color pencil. From there, I pulled them into Photoshop and added texturized color and detailing.
