CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATION
Illustration for children's books.
The first several examples show my illustration and layout design work from "The Adventures of Papa Lemon's Little Wanderers", a book series written by Minneapolis author, Lehman Riley. They're based on his grandfather and celebrate multicultural history.
Afterwards are personal projects I'm working on with my wife, Jena.
