For me, the most important contribution an artist can make is to create stimulating art for children's picture books. Art sparks imagination and fosters creativity; both are vital to our brain's "muscle memory" for critical thinking.

I just wrapped up two big children's book commission projects, and am ready for more. If you need an artist for your passion project, you can review my updated portfolio here: https://www.studio-w.art/kidlit

There are many "trendy" applications for digital painting. I've tried them all, and continue using Affinity Photo for professional illustration.

I'm a full-time professional children's book illustrator, focusing on achieving a traditional look with digital methods. These images are from a recent children's picture book commission project. These (and everything else I do) were completed with Affinity Photo and a small handful of custom brushes I've created.

I'm a children's picture book artist, and typically do watercolor-looking digital art of kids, animals, and related picture book content. I have a project with a new (previously published) customer who is pushing the boundaries a bit. She is looking for a Vecna-inspired (the Stranger Things monster) beastie with tentacles and the ability for flames. I had to dig out my old Constructive Anatomy book for this one.

Here's a look at a fun commission project that was also my first foray into anthropomorphic character design. The story is about Livi, a young llama, who is coming to terms with having to wear glasses. Through 14 vivid 2-page spreads, we follow her journey from melancholy to affirmation.
