| Amy Schimler | amy@amyschimler.com | Bio | I have been an illustrator and designer for the past ten years selling and licensing my work to a variety of publishers and manufacturers. You may have seen my work on greeting cards, in children's books and magazines, on fabrics and children's clothing as well as children's wall art . My client list includes Scholastic Press, Random House, Highlights, Unicef, Hallmark, Papyrus, Oopsy Daisy, Fisher Price, Pottery Barn Kids, and many more. I love playing with texture, pattern, and color and aim for a naive and playful attitude in my work. When not painting or sitting at my computer you can find me behind a camera lens, on a long nature walk, or daydreaming by the ocean. |

| Judy Stead | judy@judystead.com | Bio | My freelance illustration career actually began in fourth grade, raking in playground quarters from friends who commissioned me to draw horses. Later, in college, I majored in my two favorite subjects, reading and drawing, a good combination for working as (sequentially) teacher, graphic designer, art director, illustrator, author, and painter. My last real job title was Sr. Interactive Designer for a top secret early-internet company in Cambridge, MA. I liked to say I was a construction worker on the Information Superhighway.
I live with my family in Charlotte NC where my "treetop" studio overlooks some of Mother Nature's wildest work. My imagery appears in books, magazines, institutional and corporate publications, and licensed surface design.
The Adobe Illustrator CS WOW! Books series features my art in the 2010‚ 2006, and 2004 editions. My creative work has been recognized with honors by Print Magazine's Regional Design Annual, Art Director's Club, and Bookbuilders of Boston. In favorable reviews from The Horn Book Guide, School Library Journal, Booklist, and Kirkus Reviews, my illustration has been called "exuberant, joyful, vibrant, lively, inviting, vivid, energetic, expressive".
I've illustrated a dozen children's trade books, and THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN NORTH CAROLINA, credits me as author/illustrator. |

| Marty Jones | marty@mjarts.com | Bio | My body of work is fairly eclectic in its nature, and isn't specifically geared toward one type of illustration, however, all of my illustrations are realistically-styled. My preferred media are graphite, digital and colored pencil; I also use ink, watercolor, acrylics and airbrush as the need arises. Over the years I have created a large number of wildlife drawings, portraits, architectural and technical illustrations. I teach art classes for children on an irregular basis; I also do school visits. My first book jacket was published in the fall of 1999; my first children's book was published in 2000. My work has been published internationally in children's books, periodicals and on the Internet. |
