    I am in the beginning stages of a project. I am planning on writing a series of children's books. They will be educational. I want to incorporate lessons in the stories about nature and environmentally friendly ideas the child can do to help the planet! I already have a lot of ideas to work with. I thought it wouldnt hurt to begin looking for someone I hopefully will work closely with on this project. That way we can shape the book together. I am looking for an illustrator who can produce warm and vibrant pictures, primarily of animals and plants. Any information appreciated!

    Heya my art is abstract but vibrant. Some of it is a little dark but it depends on my mood. i draw and paint a lot of fantasy but i can do animals too. it depends on weather you want cartoony or naturalistic or abstract images.
    my site is here if you're interested.
