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.

As a kid I was obsessed with super heroes, Nintendo games, and Saturday morning cartoons. Now, as a grown-up, I’ve been lucky enough to work on projects that contain elements of all three of these obsessions. The results are a blend of traditional and digital media and tend to be whimsical, slightly out of the ordinary, and a little bit off-the-wall.

I’m an artist and freelance illustrator/designer, and my favorite thing to do is drink coffee while I draw, paint or read. Currently, some of my illustrations can be seen hanging in the gallery at Cheatdayland, a pop-up museum in the L.A. Arts District dedicated to the celebration of our yummiest “cheat day” foods! I have one husband, two daughters, and two cats, and I also teach computer graphics at FIDM, which keeps me pretty busy.
