Joanne Lister is a successful interior designer who has made the easy transition into the complementary field of illustration a couple of years ago, and has been working on art commissions ever since. She enrolled with the London Art College to do a course in children's illustration and is now a member of the Association of Illustrators. Currently, she is working on her own range of books, which she is both writing and illustrating.
While she works mainly in acrylics she can work in almost any style or medium. Joanne is very open to new ideas and enjoys challenges. She works well with both written and verbal instruction, interpreting requirements with a fresh, vibrant perspective.
Born in the UK, Joanne is married with one daughter Rebecca (the very best judge of whether work is suitable!) and three very mad dogs who keep her on her toes.
For examples of Joanne's work please visit http://www.tegandesign.co.uk and look on the bespoke art page. Anyone interested in having any illustrations may contact Joanne through her Web site or e-mail her at Jo.lister@tegandesign.co.uk. All inquiries and questions are welcome.

Residents of southern Oregon, James Ville and his wife are both into illustrating, but James is the one who peruses it professionally. He has been interested in the art field since he was a little one. He has been commissioned for logos and illustrations here and there, but has the intention of becoming a firmly grounded professional graphic artist/illustrator. He currently holds down a part time job, but he makes time for art as a hobby. He is fully interested in offering his services to others, but with a newborn son taking his time and attention, he may not be able to rush your project to completion. Patience is a virtue; or so I've heard!
James does color, black & white, pencil, pen, digital, or whatever you want. He is completely open to feedback and is willing to alter/tweak/change any image to fit your specific vision. Being a loving father, he will not draw anything above PG-13 maturity level, so he is a perfect choice for authors needing an illustrator for a children's story.
The sample here is from the Sid Series of children's holistic e-books I've written.

Kellie Black is a freelance illustrator based in London, UK. She has a BA in Illustration, and has been drawing ever since she can remember! Her work is mostly concerned with characters and narrative, although recently she has completed work for a skincare company for a product re-launch, demonstrating that she is adaptable to illustrative styles as she works to suit the brief. She also works in 3D, creating character sculptures that can be used to illustrate a narrative or concept. Kellie is a member of the Association of Illustrators in the UK. Her Web site can be viewed at http://www.misspearlgrey.com.

This was so nice of you to do. Many people talk about the authors, but barely mention us illustrators.
