I've had the good fortune to illustrate books published by Pearson, Penguin-Random House, McGraw-Hill, Macmillan, Prentice Hall, Harvard Business Review Press, and John Wiley & Sons, including some NY Times bestsellers.
I cover a fairly wide range of genres (and their appropriate drawing styles), from children's and middle grade fiction, to nonfiction and business books.
While many of my clients have been authors with publishers, I also enjoy working with authors who are approaching agents, or are taking their books direct to market with self publishing.
Regardless of your path to getting your book into the hands of your readers, it would by my pleasure to discuss your book and your ideas for illustration.

Twenty five cartoons and illustrations written and drawn for
Managing Priorities, by former DreamWorks executive, Harry Max.
An early review: “People have long known it's important to have clear priorities and focus on them. But no one ever tells you how to do it. That’s exactly what Harry Max does in Managing Priorities...he clearly lays out the steps that anyone can use to be more productive and effective. It’s required reading for anyone wanting to be a better business leader.”
