Nicole Lim

Hello! I am a visual development artist, children’s book illustrator and self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur from the Philippines who is currently based in Pasadena.

Most of my illustrations are drawn digitally and revolve around nature, fantasy, and whimsical themes. I especially love telling stories for children (and the children at heart) to laugh, ponder, appreciate the simple joys of life.

I am a Seattle area freelance illustrator specializing in children’s books, fantasy, middle grade, graphic novel, and realistic illustrations. I work digitally and traditionally using watercolor, gouache, and oil. I’m currently working on an animal version of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I especially enjoy creating dynamic action-packed events as well as intimate character-driven scenes.

Anna & Elena Balbusso

In our work there is a clear reference to artists and paintings. The Italian art plays a key role in our work, it is an important source of inspiration but not the only. Every project is different, we do not work in series.There is not a specific art period but art in general, from Ancient Rome mural painting (frescoes at Pompeii), Italian Renaissance, Romanticism (prelude of modern art) Modern Art (symbolism, surrealism, Russian constructivism, Italian Futurism) and Contemporary Art. We use mixed media, traditional methods (acrylic, gouache, pencil, pen) were combined with digital programs, however we do not use the virtual paint brushes instead relying on doing all our brush stroke by hand with black gouache on paper. We work in many fields of communication with different styles: graphic style and painterly style.
