We all know it:
fun, cute & engaging cartoon characters are what grabs a child’s attention!
With my decades-long career as a top illustrator for the toy industry, I make it EASY to have your book professionally illustrated with toy industry-quality characters! (please scroll down to the bottom of the page for lots more samples…)
My simple
”1 • 2 • 3” process:
1) I DESIGN CHARACTERS YOU WILL LOVE!
After our initial video chats and/or emails to get all of your thoughts and creative input, I present you with top quality character designs for your comments and feedback. Whether they’re new original characters, a re-brand of your existing IP, caricatures of people or family members, etc… We start by collaborating on this first step and ensuring you are happy as we bring your characters to life!
2) I DESIGN YOUR ENTIRE BOOK AND COVERS, AND SEND YOU A COMPLETE MOCKUP PDF
I apply kid-approved visual storytelling techniques to build a lively & appealing flow of images and structure from your manuscript. I deliver the storyboarded pdf document for your approval, with dynamic page layouts and your text (in your choice of font) already in place. There is no cap on the number of revisions you may request in order to ensure your complete satisfaction with the staging of the action, text and flow of your story!
3) I DELIVER BEAUTIFUL PRO ARTWORK
Once approved, I provide eyeball-grabbing, finished color pages for your review and approval, formatted for your preferred publishing option.
