The Magic of Childhood

I draw for about 18 years. I'm 20 years old, young and have fresh ideas. I have been in Art School. Now I'm taking Graphic Design course in Technical College. In the fall 2011 I will start study in Academy of Art University in San Fransisco as Animator.


I love to draw, especially Illustrations and cartoon characters. My favorites media are watercolors, color pencils and photoshop for digital painting.

I work with many mediums.

I know Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Corel Draw and PhotoPaint.

Drawing is my life and thing what I do all the time.

Conceptual Artist and Illustrator

by Michelle Cunningham
(Las Vegas, Nevada)

I was a self thought artist and painter before I began to study digital mediums.

I enjoy creating conceptual characters and environments for every one to enjoy of all ages.

I love to create realistic drawings from uplifting moods to somber moods. I enjoy creating children’s characters and environments especially. However, if I get in the mood to create an evil villain or hideous monster to a majestically hybrid, I would because I just simply love to create.

As a professional artist, I can see in my imagination what you write about or describe to me. My mind just flows with creative energy and I love to get into character as I bring the character and their worlds to life.

Every character has a story and every story has a beginning, middle and an end. Every story has emotions to share with the audiences and I can bring out those emotions in my art which enhances the story.

Children's Fantasy Book Illustrator with Animation Degree

Children's Fantasy Book Illustrator with Animation Degree


I'm a digital painter with a BFA in Media Arts & Animation. I've been drawing my whole life and have studied art in college for five years total (full time).

Now it's time to get published so I can feel accomplished and pay off that student loan, hehe.

I feel that my work would be very suitable for children's fantasy books. I focus on character emotion with a sense of otherworldly realism.

I paint in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet but I am also proficient in pencil color and other traditional media. If this sounds interesting please visit my portfolio site, CasandraFruge.com. You can contact me @ cassie24@gmail.com.
