David Whittledavidw@organisart.co.uktype of art workI work mostly digitally in photoshop and illustrator, but also paint for exhibitions etc.
Diego Moscatomoscatodiego@gmail.comBioMy way of working is a combination of traditional and digital techniques. In traditional techniques, drawing and the ink is where I am more professional. Watercolors, watercolors, pencils and acrylics are the most commonly used soil but choose the more appropriate tool because each has its own character as to illustrate the text. Along with the use of digital tablet, Photoshop and versatility in reproduction of textures and strokes complete the process to meet deadlines without affecting image quality. These are digital media by email or yousendlt. My greatest affinity and experience is to the texts to a young audience, but I'm open to other audiences, texts or proposals. I bet for versatility.

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.

Juana Martinez-Nealme@juanamartinezneal.comBioHi there! I'm Juana and I'm a children's illustrator. I love art and birdies. I was born in Lima, the capital of Peru. I've been illustrating for children since I was 16. Back then, my work was sold in toy packaging all across the country. I was having so much fun. Education is a must and I attended the best art school ever, Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru - School of Fine Arts. After 3 years of a crazy 8-to-8 schedule and way too many all-nighters, I was in desperate need of a semester-break and decided to give L.A. a "test drive." I have lived in the US ever since. I now live and work in Scottsdale, Arizona. I found a boy that I love and together we have two active, young boys who are always getting into trouble and chasing Mr. Snaggle-Tooth Kitty and Puppy. I'm currently available for new and exciting projects so email me and let's talk. Extra points to you if you do it in Spanish.

Marit Menzinmmenzin@verizon.netBioMy kindergarten teacher, Lia, discovered my talent for drawing. I attended many art workshops and I had an oil painter for a mentor while very young. I loved to read books and I also loved to write plays and poems for school. In college I majored in Biology and Chemistry. After a few fires and one suspected carbon monoxide leak at my graduate school laboratory, I decided that I had enough of chemical threats and hazards. I then studied computers and worked as a chemistry high school teacher, and as a computer programmer. As I pursued my scientific career, I continued to illustrate while studying different methods of painting. I participated in workshops, entitled How to Illustrate Children’s Books, at DeCordova museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. My mentor there was the acclaimed illustrator Ilse Plum. In the past 7 years, I have devoted my time to writing and illustrating. I developed my own unique style as a collage artist. My goal as a writer/illustrator is to teach young children through an intriguing story and captivating illustrations.

Meganrolee125@yahoo.comBioWell, it's been a while since I got interested in artworks. I'm Megan Grey. I used to be the resident artist of our class when I was in my elementary and high school days. My friends have tried to convince me to take up fine arts as my college course. But much to our surprise, things went the other way. I graduated with a degree in creative writing and I am working as a creative writer in a gaming firm. I have contributed storylines on some famous games which I opted not to mention in here. I am also planning to do a sideline which involves writing some academic paper like dissertation, journals and many more. Being a writer have really never crossed my mind before, but my grandfather have used some magical words to me thus instantly making writing as my passion. Well, let's see if it writing would bring me to places I've never been. Godspeed.
