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.
