Book illustrations for children's and grown up books

For me illustrations in a book brings the text to life.

I can draw any number of styles of illustration depending on the subject matter. From simple black and white line illustration to full colour finished style. Cartoon to realistic. Humourus to serious. Have done them all!

Sometimes it involves me also supplying the complete cover design including the typography (title). Or any number of smaller illustrations used throughout the publication illustrating the text. Title illustrations are another great way to lift the text and provide a visually appealing book.

Just the cover illustration if that's all you need.

Illustrations for the inside pages as and where you need them. But maybe you just need the cover illustration. I can not only draw the illustration, but also design the complete cover. Front, back and spine.

Children's book illustrations

Simple and colourful is the key to a successful children's book illustration. With horror, danger and the odd fart!

Illustrations for a motivational book

I drew some comical images with an ironic twist to help to illustrate complex motivational themes. They simplified the concepts and gave a light relef to the text.

Line drawings for a poetry book

A moving poetry book required simple black and white line drawings to illustrate the moving scenes depicted in the poems.
