Telling Stories in Pictures
Telling stories in pictures is more than representing words in art; the details of an illustration should draw the reader, young or old, into a different world. I'm Eric Hammond, and I want to draw readers into your story.
With a background in graphic design and T-shirt illustration, I now use pencil, pen & computer to bring your story to life in vivid and eye-catching ways. I do anything from cartoonish to realistic, dark to whimsical. I create color covers, picture book illustrations, color or black & white chapter book illustrations... whatever your need might be.
Fees vary depending of complexity. I don't work on spec, but do work with writers beforehand, reading stories and generating preliminary sketches and brain-storming, for which I never charge a fee. I feel this kind of back and forth is needed to discover if I have a good understanding of your vision for your book.
