Quite awhile ago Phil Wilson illustrated a three book series called I Can Read which featured dinosaurs. Harper Collins just released the series in Korea – this is an example of one of the covers totally written in Korean! Check his portfolio for more examples of his dinosaur illustrations!
A new sample art page by Larry Jones that was sent to prospective clients. A mixture of old and new but featuring Larry’s retro style. Check his portfolio for more examples!
A nice example of retro art by Larry Jones. It doesn’t happen often but there are times when a client needs retro art for a specific project. Larry has a great collection of this type of art that he has created over the years – let us know if you need to see examples. There are a few of these images in his current portfolio.
Two crazy, fun illustrations that Peter Grosshauser created for past children’s publishing projects. His art is well know in the children’s books and educational publishing areas in particular. View his portfolio for a wide array of zany, cartoon art that kids enjoy!
Larry Jones created a series of (24) historical characters for a novelty fortune-telling game called “The Decider” Kind of like a magic 8-ball but with a little ball that lands in one of 5 humorous yes or no answers that the famous person may answer. These are some of the fun characters that he created!
Phil Wilson has been creating Disney illustrations for many years including over forty books, collector plates, games, etc. These images are from one of the many books he has illustrated. If you have a Disney like project check Phil’s portfolio on our site – more images can also be seen on childrensillustrators.com
During the past year Petter Grosshauser created numerous illustrations for Puzzlemania Magazine – a creation of Highlights For Children. Each magazine contained chances to solve puzzles, navigate mazes, and find hidden pictures among many activities for young children. Peter created “hidden picture” illustrations where kids would look for hidden objects, items that should not be in the scene, etc. These are a few of the illustrations that appeared in the various issues. Click on the images to see the entire scenes.
One of our fun projects for this year was a series of mazes to be used in a Mazes Mats book for Publications International. Geared for children 4 and up, Larry Jones illustrated mazes that were kids placemats for fun on the run! Designed as easy-tear pages, kids could use them as “boredom busters” to take anywhere – in the car, to a restaurant or waiting room – wherever they choose! Here are a few of the mazes that Larry created.
In the beginning of 2011 Peter Grosshauser was asked by Project WET to create artwork for a website they were building. Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) is based in Bozeman, MT and they provide educational materials all over the world concerning water and water use. Peter has been working for them for many years and they wanted the artwork to reflect the same style he used to illustrate nearly 50 kids books for them previously. The assignment was to create an interactive, animated web game that would be fun for children. Basically Peter’s job was to create all the frames, borders, and all the different elements that were involved in each subtopic and game. Each character illustrated had to be in different layers (different layers for arms, legs, tails, etc…) for animation purposes.
His favorite part of this project was creating the home page globe with all the different elements on different layers which spin at different speeds. The Blue Traveler game was also fun to create. Peter worked with Big Bad Tomato out of Los Angeles for this section of the web site. All illustrations were created in Painter and Photoshop while listening to many hours of the Ricky Gervais podcasts! View this fun site at – http://www.discoverwater.org/
