Book Interior Illustration
Chapter headers, spot illustrations, and other interior artwork that brings your narrative to life. I collaborate closely with your layout designer to ensure seamless integration with the typography and page design.
Starting from $150 per spot illustration · Discuss your project →
Full-Color Interior Art
Full-page, full-color painted illustrations for interior spreads — title pages, part openers, gallery inserts, and premium editions. Rendered in high-resolution with the same attention to detail as a cover painting.
Starting from $500 per full-color plate · Discuss your project →
Series Cover Design
A cohesive visual system for trilogies, sagas, and multi-book series. I develop a style guide with consistent typography, color palettes, and compositional templates so each cover stands alone yet belongs together. See the Hoëbeke case study.

How It Works
Brief & Discovery
We discuss your book's genre, target audience, and visual references. I learn about the mood, key characters, settings, and what makes your story unique. You fill out a short creative brief that guides the entire project.
Concept & Sketch
I create 2-3 rough sketches exploring different compositions, lighting directions, and color approaches. You review and select the direction that best captures your book's atmosphere.
Revision & Refinement
Based on your feedback, I refine the chosen sketch into a full-color, fully rendered illustration. Up to 3 rounds of revisions are included to ensure every detail is right — from character features to background atmosphere.
Final Delivery
You receive print-ready and digital files in all required formats: PDF with bleed and trim marks, high-resolution TIFF/PNG (300 DPI), and web-optimized JPG. Source files available upon request.
