Idaho Cartoon Children’s Illustrator

I’m finishing up a 24-page story for readers aged 6-8 that celebrates kindness, friendship, and a touch of gentle magic, and I’d love the artwork to feel as though it was born right here in Idaho. I’m after expressive, full-color cartoon illustrations—warm lines, lively characters, and backgrounds that capture small-town forests, rivers, and starry skies without drifting into realism.

Here’s what I need from you:
• A front cover, back cover, and 22 interior spreads (bleed-ready, CMYK, 300 DPI)
• Layered source files (Procreate, Photoshop, or Clip Studio Paint are all fine) plus high-resolution PDFs for print and flattened PNGs for digital use
• A simple title-page font treatment that matches the art style
• Two rounds of revisions on rough sketches and two on final color

I’ll supply a complete text manuscript, page breakdown, and thumbnail notes as soon as we start. I plan to review the rough sketches first, then move on to color once they’re approved, before packaging everything for my printer in Boise. If you live locally, we can even meet over coffee; if not, Zoom works perfectly.

When you respond, please show two or three examples of cartoon work that targets the same age range, and mention any children’s titles you’ve illustrated before. Let’s bring a little Idaho magic to life together!
