Introduction
I am an award-winning illustrator who has forged 107 books with authors, and I am still in love with making books. I leave my clients with a completely * finished * professionally-printed book, ready for them to publish. I can illustrate the book, design the book's borders and cover, set it up to be structurally sound as a set of print files, help edit and write if needed, and offer a bit of marketing advice for when it's published. I still feel like I have that raw creative energy for filtering the thoughts of an author, and seeing their words through the "mind's eye." I think I've always been in love with stories. Some fine arts type illustrators finish a gallery showing, but to me, the books I've done are my showing.

In my entire life I have not experienced such breath taking artistry and capacity to take my written word and then Ryan's creation that is absolutely magnificent. Colleagues have all been in awe of his illustrations that are one of a kind. Now I am hoping my text is worthy of his illustrations. He is effortless to talk with, punctual, professional, and what I received for the financial investment is far greater than anything we could have imagined. Thank you Thumbtack! Everyone asks me where did you find him? No one can believe it was from an internet site. I feel so grateful for this referral. My husband and I will do another project with him in the very near future.

This is a four month sci-fi horror comic project of 30 plus pages with a full color wraparound, so it’s going to take a while to critique his work, but I’m confident that the results will be golden. Bear with me ‘til then.

We had a brief chat and he was more than informative, he was more than willing to share his perspective and his experience. I hope I will have a chance to work with him in hopefully the near future.
