Children's book illustrators

 

I find a lot of inspiration from different children's book illustrator's sites and blogs. Doodle Diner is a great one! If you feel like exploring the world of children's book illustrators, Doodle Diner has a page with several artists' bios. Enjoy!

I happened upon this artist and his work through the Doodle Diner and just had to share. Dave Devries is his name and he takes drawings from kids and turns them into 'real' paintings using his illustration skills. I wish he were closer - he's from New Jersey, b/c I'd love to have him come out and do a presentation at our school! Well, nevertheless, seeing his work is inspiring to me and I am going to try and find some local painters/artists who I can get together and see if we can't do something similar. See what I'm talking about in the video below.
