Ellen Beierellenbeier@yahoo.comBioI started drawing as a small child by the side of my artist grandmother. We carried our pencils and sketch pads together to Coney Island Beach where we drew the sleeping sunbathers. After studying architecture at Cornell University and art in London, I returned to the States to finish up my BFA at California College of Arts and Crafts in the Bay Area. My first jobs were in design firms and then textbook illustration. In 1987 I moved to Hamburg, Germany where I was able to continue my career in picture books.

erika lebarreerika@erikalebarre.comBioErika LeBarre has always been exposed to art one way or another as she grew up. Her father worked as a car designer for the big three until he retired, and her mother was and still is a ceramicist. Erika's parents always encouraged her creative side. Drawing was her favorite thing to do, especially dinosaurs and monsters as subject matter. Erika graduated from the College for Creative Studies in 1990 with a BFA in illustration. She worked at an art studio with other illustrators and designers for over four years. Since then she has worked as a freelance illustrator out of her home. “Erika's work is beautiful and highly original. She always comes through with knock-out work, on time and without a hassle. She makes art directors look good! She is very thorough in her approach to an assignment and makes sure there are no unanswered questions and no unpleasant surprises.

Jim Caputojim@groggydog.comBioJim graduated from art school in 1986 and began his career as a graphic designer for an ad agency in Philadelphia. After doing work by hand for a few years, he finally acquired a Mac. This allowed him to move on as an art director working for a few design studios along the way. Illustration has always been his passion and in 1998 he opened Groggy Dog Studios. After sending out a promo piece, he landed an editorial illustration for the Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition. Groggy Dog Studios was up and running. “As a kid,” Jim said, “ I was always reprimanded for daydreaming and now I'm getting paid for it!” In 2000, he left Philadelphia and moved to Orlando, Florida. While looking for a full-time job, he took the time to develop his technique and experiment with a mixed media of watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, and brushed ink. This allowed for a fresh look and began doing work for magazines such as chickaDEE and Muse. After nine years of working as an art director by day and illustrator by night, he decided to make illustration a full-time gig in 2007. Jim quips, “My neighbors are convinced I’m hiding under the Federal Witness Protection Program.” His client list includes The Kennedy Center, Scholastic, Ideals Publications, Norwood House Press, and Harcourt. In his spare time, he enjoys physical fitness, going to movies, and reading. All of which provide an endless amount of inspiration.

srnoblesteve@stevennoble.comBioKnown all around the world as the most prolific and versatile scratchboard artist in the commercial art world for over 18 years, Steven Noble has created a style around the scratchboard medium that encompasses a wide range of detail and style. Over the years, he has become equally adept in the woodcut, pen and ink, traditional engraving and steel engraving styles, as well as a variety of stylized scratchboard techniques. His highly disciplined and complex line work is based on over 15 years of experience using X-Acto precision knives carved into pre-inked clay boards which generate very fine line strokes which allow a versatility in the detail from bold woodcuts to very fine traditional 19 century steel engravings.Over the course of his career, he has created many nationally recognized logos and ad campaigns for a large list of prestigious and high caliber clients such as Coors (corporate/packaging logo), Exxon-Mobil (stock certificate), JP Morgan (annual report) and Mercedes-Benz (ad campaigns). A lot of his expertise encompasses a large volume of subject matter that include food, portraits, animals, maps, architecture, and corporate conceptual images. In 2001, he won the "Meade Show Award for Excellence" for creating the best corporate conceptual illustration for an annual report for the Wet Seal's 2001 Annual Report. In addition, in 1996 his work was recognized in the Communication Art Magazine for the best advertising spot for "Beaulieu Vineyards." Steven continues to strive for excellence in his work and is always up for the next challenge. One of his last projects was a series of illustrations for the acclaimed Children's book "Zathura" which came out (Fall 2005) at the same time as the release of the movie "Zathura". You can see more samples in the Workbook, Black Book, and Directory of Illustration. For a comprehensive sampling of over 2500 images of Steven Noble's work go to: www.stevennoble.com.

Her design sense and strong composition and color skills can clearly been seen in her illustrations. Since 2003, Tanja has strictly worked as a freelance illustrator and designer with her main focus being children’s illustration. Her first picture book, “There’s a Coqui in My Shoe!”, written by Marisa de Jesus Paolicelli and released by ChiChi Rodriguez Books in 2007, won the 2008 10th Annual International Latino Book Awards for Best Educational Children's Book - English. Her second book “The Adventures of Salt and Soap at Grand Canyon” published by the Grand Canyon Association will be released in the spring of 2009. In addition to design and illustration projects varying from character studies, book illustrations, greeting cards and marketing collateral, Tanja has enjoyed working on numerous book jackets ranging from children’s titles to adult fiction and non-fiction titles. Her love of story telling drives her to continually refine her craft. Traditional mediums such as acrylics, water color as well as pen and ink are Tanja’s favorite, but she also loves the freedom that digital tools such as Photoshop offer. Tanja is an active member of the Arizona chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and helps out as Co-Illustrator Representative. After having lived in Germany and Australia, Tanja now calls Arizona her home with her family and her two Goldens Otto and Peanut and cat Ducky.

Victor Tavarestavares.ntg@terra.com.brBioI am a Brazilian children’s book illustrator born in 1971. In a career which started in 1989 I spent 6 years working with animation as a 2D animator and 14 years illustrating books and magazines. As an animator I worked 4 years in an animation studio in Brasil named CCAA and 2 years in an animation studio in Ireland named Terraglyph. I also took part as a free-lancer animator in the Disney’s TV production ‘Aladdin’ which was made in several countries including Brazil in 1994. I’ve illustrated books and magazines for Brazil, England and USA which were also sold in Finland, Norway, Greece and South Chorea. The Publishing houses I have worked for are Usborne, Barefoot, Macmillan, Oxford University Press, Ladybird, Pearson Education and International Bible Society among many others.
