Illinois Illustrator

by Alexander Morris
(Schaumburg, IL USA)

Hello. My name is Alexander Morris and I love to draw and get creative.

I graduated from the Illinois Institute of Art-Schaumburg with a Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts & Animation and have been working with various authors illustrating children's books for the last few months. Though I am new to the industry, I am a hard worker and I always try to set higher standards for myself. Especially when it comes to my art.

I consider my work to be very colorful as well as emotional. With each character I create, I try to add I little bit of my own personality to it whether it is sadness, anger, fear, joy, or even mischievousness, and I always hope that when people look at my characters they see that trait in themselves to or at least see it in someone they know. I always work digitally and tend to work mostly in Flash and Photoshop though all the sketches are done by hand.

When auditioning for a job I will always provide sketches should the author or company require it. As for my fee I generally charge $300 per book however that may change depending on the length of the book and the author's budget.

If you like what you've seen and read feel free to contact me by email and I will provide a link to my website.
