I illustrated “Open a Book!” in 2018 for Rainbow Puppet Productions, a youth education nonprofit based in Hampton, VA. 

In some scenes, photos of the nonprofit’s puppets were superimposed onto illustrated backdrops. Only the illustrations I created are shown here. 

I drew the line art in pen and ink, and painted the images digitally for a vibrant yet natural effect. The characters are essentially anonymous, but I wanted to give them their own unique personalities in my illustrations.
