Young and enthusiastic but experienced illustrator

My name's Monika Suska, I came from Poland but now I'm beginning new life in my beloved city of Barcelona.

I"m very proud to call myself illustrator.

It is not only my job but the biggest passion at the first place. As a person addicted to reading my favorite work to do are picture books
but also I love changes and new shiny things :)


So working on different type of project is always great adventure for me.

My illustration are usually made with acrylic colour on paper, sometimes with some final touch added in Photoshop.

I don't consider computer as an Evil but just prefer traditional techniques better than digital painting.

I'm an illustrator for not so long but I've already done pictures book for publishers such as Dragon Pencil and Maverick Book. Also I create illustration and conceptions for 3D characters for music project NIE WIEM KTO.

I'm always open for new illustration adventures :)

The art of illustration

Arty's art of illustration


Hi there!

My name is George Nazlis and for more than 12 years I am working as a freelance graphic artist and illustrator.

Recently I have been engaged in children’s books illustration and layout design and I have been fascinated by the artistic approach and liberty of this process.

My goal is to further develop this activity and in this respect I am writing to you to seek prospects of collaboration.

I enjoy my work and I never get tired of it. I get a lot of inspiration from my own children, they are making a child in me still live.

Becouse of my graphic design experiance I am able to design the illustrations together with the layout of a book, combine graphic elements (text, page number, frames etc.) with the illustration in a continuous composition and deliver a final product for the printshop.

For more information about me and an extended presentation of my portfolio, I welcome you to visit my website:

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Imaginary Landscapes

by Luis Peres
(Portimão, Algarve, Portugal)

Imaginary landscapes, fantasy backgrounds and cute stuff

If you look at most children's book work around, you probably notice that not many people do background scenery as a centerpiece for their creations. Illustrators usualy center their attention on painting characters and many disregard entirely the worlds where these same characters live.

There are hundreds of books with amazing illustrations depicting heroes in stories but as a reader since i was a kid, i always felt cheated when not a single image of the imaginary world was presented on a publication, as what i always wanted to see was a great pic of a Fantasy land described in a story and not many books had them.

That´s when i decided to start creating my own depictions of imaginary geographies and more than twenty five years later i´m still doing them.
In fact altough i love to illustrate characters, i have to say that backgrounds are my most favorite thing to do.

So...if you have a really nice book that needs some cute colorful characters and you also need someone to put to paper their own imaginary land, please consider hiring me to do just that. ;)

I started illustrating professionaly back in 1992, and since then i´ve never stopped. Mostly i did work internaly inside my own country (i live and work from the south of Portugal), but i´ve been slowly expanding my craft outside my boundaries and that is the reason i´m here.

I work mainly in traditional media, like watercolors, acrylics and color pencils, but i don´t mind creating pics in digital when a client requests it, so let me know if you have a project that can fit my style and i´m sure we can work around your budget no matter what it is.

My rates vary depending on the amount of work, type of illustration, level of detail and all sorts of variables, so give me details about what you need and let´s talk. ;)
