About
About Karyn:
Karyn Lewis received a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Drawing from Colorado State University. After working as an Arts & Entertainment reporter for a metro paper, Karyn quit her “day job” to become a full time freelance illustrator. Karyn lives in the Midwest with her journalist husband and young son.
Karyn works in a variety of styles, from whimsical children’s book illustrations and holiday art, to graphic design, classic portraits and even abstract paintings. Almost all of Karyn’s work is paper-free. Using a Wacom Tablet, she draws and paints with the digital brushes and design tools in Photoshop CS5. She loves to experiment with new techniques and different styles.
Karyn is a member of The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
Commissions:
Commission Status: CLOSED THROUGH THE END OF 2010
Currently I am taking commissions in the following areas:
- Cover Illustrations
- Spot Illustrations
- Portraits & Character Illustrations
- Comic Book/Graphic Novel Spots or Covers
- Interior Game Art, Cards, or Covers
- Graphic Design, Greeting Cards & other Promotional Illustrations
- Blog or Web Banners & Website Theme Customization
Children’s Book Illustrations:
At this time I can only accept picture book projects from publishing houses.
Due to time constraints and other factors, I will not be accepting proposals for personal or self-published book illustration projects. I will consider cover work on a case by case basis.
If you’re a writer and you want to try and get your picture book published through traditional publishing houses, you won’t need an illustrator for your text. The publishers will assign an illustrator for the project if they offer you a contract. To learn more about picture book writing and publishing, I recommend you visit SCBWI.org.
Please contact me for commission prices & info.
Or if you would like to view some ready-made game art portraits, please visit my Portrait Adoption gallery.
