Brenda Salamone

A long career in children’s educational software has informed my illustration style. I love creating artwork for the kids entertainment market and working with authors to make their stories come alive. A lifelong love for traditional animation has enabled me to create art for the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and develop a portfolio of animation background work reminiscent of the Looney Tunes style.

My work strives to evoke humor and wit, with a nod toward a mid-century graphic look and old school cartoon aesthetics.

I love illustration. Although illustration possesses few secure signposts pointing the way to success, it offers enormous freedom – of medium, style, and content. And on a societal level, illustrators are expected to be the seers of contemporary culture. They pick at the many threads making up our various cultures – political, social, economic, artistic, etc., – and weave them into challenging images that are both read and responded to. Illustrators have the freedom to simultaneously consume and create, and their work does exactly the same. It is a profession that draws from and adds to our cultures, with the potential to effect immense change.

Daniel Willardson

by Daniel Willardson on 03/30/2017 in SILA Member Artists

My work focuses on Fantasy Illustration and character design. I tend to start with a basic sketch in a sketchbook, either pencil or pen. Early on in my work I am focusing on shapes, rhythm, and composition. Then I take my work into photoshop for cleanup, color, and rendering.
